"What Has Been Done to Me" - by Jacqueline Woodson
"You spend your whole life waiting for the moment when you are free of the history your life makes for you - the moment you can step outside of who you once were into the body of the person you have always been becoming. Then, from that point on, the things that have been done to you no longer matter. They become a part of a past... a past that you are no longer a part of... a past that never existed."
