About this item
by Lawyer Johnson (Author)
My Pain Is My Identity is a raw and unflinching memoir about what happens when childhood trauma goes unspoken-and the lifelong cost of silence.
At just seven years old, Lawyer Johnson's innocence was shattered by sexual abuse. With no language for the pain and no protection from it, he carried that trauma into adolescence and adulthood, where it quietly shaped his choices, relationships, and sense of self. What followed was a life marked by anger, survival instincts, street life, incarceration, and emotional isolation-until the moment he chose to confront the truth he had buried for decades.
With brutal honesty and emotional depth, Johnson takes readers inside the realities of trauma, prison, faith, and healing. This is not a story of instant redemption, but of slow, hard-earned transformation. My Pain Is My Identity gives voice to survivors who learned to survive by hiding their wounds and challenges society to see the child behind the behavior.
This memoir is for survivors, advocates, and anyone who believes healing is possible-even after a lifetime of pain.
