When you hear the word brave, do you think of a man with a gun in his hand?
I bet you don’t think of a woman filing a divorce against her abusive husband.
When you hear the word smart, do you think of a man with thick glasses on?
I bet you don’t think of a teenage girl who was raped and managed to raise a kid without failing school.
When you hear the word abused, do you think of an African American man forced into slavery?
I bet you don’t think of a rich white girl who had to grow up without her parents caring for her.
When you think of the word scared, do you think of a little boy cowering in a dark corner?
I bet you don’t think of a teenage girl who had to come home to an angry and drunk father.
I bet you don’t, but you can.
