Chapter 33 - hargitay

I Am the Evidence

I am the evidence

You chose not to turn away from.

In a world that silences pain,

You listened when I spoke.

I am one of many,

But you saw me—

Not just a number,

But a name, a story, a life.

I have been blocked,

Stonewalled at every turn,

Yet you stood for me,

Refusing to let my truth be buried.

Because you fight for justice,

I find hope in the darkness.

Because you believe survivors matter,

I remember I matter too.

Thank you for your courage,

For not turning away—

For showing me

That I am the evidence,

And I will not be erased.
