A Tribute to Survivors of Domestic Violence

(The English version is followed by the Spanish translation.)

“You may enslave me, you may lock me in a room, you may restrict my freedom like a bird in a cage, you may beat me, but you are not stronger than me because you will not crush my spirit. In the darkest recesses of the prisons you build for me, the light in my soul is still shining. The scars you inflicted on me only strengthened my resolve to rise again. I will reclaim the person I always was, but you would not let me be. I will sing again the song that is in my heart that you could not silence. I will rise again, I will rise again! I will be me. I will, I will be me!”

Un Tributo A Los Sobrevivientes de la Violencia Doméstica

“Me puedes esclavizar, puedes encerrarme en un cuarto, o restringir mi libertad como a un pájaro enjaulado. Me has pegado, pero nunca serás mas fuerte que yo, pues no puedes aplastar mi espíritu. Y en los mas obscuros recesos de las prisiones que me construyes, la luz de mi alma todavía brilla. Las cicatrizes que me has infligido solo han fortalecido mi resolución: resurgiré otra vez. Reclamaré la persona que siempre fui, la persona que no me dejabas ser. Y cantaré otra vez la canción que brota de mi corazón y la que nunca podrás callar. Resurgiré otra vez. Resurgiré otra vez! Seré yo. Seré, seré yo!”
