Created from my poetry using suno.com. Music is powerful. I’ve left it alone for a long time, largely because of HIM, but I’m thankful for technological advances that help put my words to music.

God, why did You choose me for this fight, To be their confidant, The Truth-Teller Reverse: wrongs to right? I adopt this assignment, I own my failures, I rise to protect The silenced survivors I am not alone, You are with us, But so are they. The Advocates Together we stand, No matter the length of the road... But, Dear God, Why Me? I reflect on my childhood I was safe I was loved I was free to become Whatever I dreamed of No demons to chase me No trauma to haunt me No grave sins to cover No shame to destroy me Together we stand, No matter the length of the road... But, Dear God, Why Me? When the victims came forward Their stories intertwined I carried their trauma Their memories were mine I experienced their pain Panic attacks Their fear of the MAN As their memories played back Together we stand, No matter the length of the road... But, Dear God, Why Me? My warfare was for them Their resilience was depleted But because of my childhood Inner strength was yielded God, you needed a warrior With empathy and love A friend of the broken Someone they could trust I'd been there from the start A witness to the domination With understanding of the MAN Who created the devastation Together we stand, No matter the length of the road... But, Dear God, Why Me? Any twist, any turn I anticipate the motion A pattern, never changing HIS motive now proven As I've risen out of fear Not forgetting it's embrace I step forward into HIS presence And stare deep into HIS face I counter HIM with truth I confront HIM on his lies I define HIS abhorrent actions It is for the survivors that I cry he no longer controls me I am free, in Christ I'm free Yet I will not walk away The devastation has to cease I know now God... Why me You called me. But you are carrying me. You've got this.
