Nouns - Fourteen lyrics

" I was raped at fourteen And I'm not using this as another tragedy to make my art more appealing Or to make you pity me And bring you closer to "understanding" me But instead As an encouragement For those that have faced any sort of trauma No matter how small --don't be afraid to open it into discussion But before you do an*lyze your feelings Regarding the past If you bring it up What do you want people to see? Do you want them To see a "victim" ? Because You should never Ever Want to be the victim But instead The hero Show "them" That you've been through Some Sort Of S h i t And that you Don't need Anyone's Pity Because you've Overcome That heartache And you're a good person You're the hero No matter how bad Things have been Show "them" That you're strong And that you can Overcome More adversity And you can Come out A Role model And show T h e m That you're truly proud with the person you've become But first you must work And it's A difficult job But you must try your hardest To fill the holes in your heart With nothing but Your Self And Use that Pain That you Have In your heart As a tool Not so that People may understand you But so that You may understand people Use this To help the world One person At a time And know You're no longer The victim Instead You're The Victor " — Olivia
