"Do you know? Do you know what it's……" — Linda Ward
"Do you know? Do you know what it's like to live with fear? To be afraid every day of your life, and to know you can't escape from the the source of your fear? Do you know what it's like to struggle for acceptance, and find only criticism and condemnation instead? Do you know what it's like to wake in the morning and know that nothing you do today will be right? Do you know what it's like to wake in the morning and KNOW that today you will be hit. To know that if today is a good day, you'll only get a couple of slaps across the face, and if it's a bad day, you could find a hand around your neck, shutting off your windpipe until you pass out. Do you know what it's like to hear words such as you're useless, you'restupid, no-one will ever love you, and to hear these words so often you believe them? Do you know what it's like to feel as if every breath you draw is a waste of oxygen. To feel as if suicide is the only option, but be too afraid to do it. Do you?"
