You stole my innoccence at such a young age and drove away my spirit.
My Spirit!
What I once knew as a child was no longer to be my world.
Your actions nearly killed me.
Only later in life did I truly begin to understand the depth of this pain and destruction of my soul.
My soul
The control this had over my total self worth.
It was nearly too much to hear.
To begin, again, the grieving for my losses.
Again!
The rage and the anger. And all that was ugly to me then and now.
Again!
But you can no longer hurt me.
I am a strong Woman.
A Woman who through it all has survived,
and learned to forgive,
others and myself.
To Love again and to begin to trust again, slowly, but for sure.
To live life forward and in the present.
In and out of control at the healing process.
My Gentle Strenth will hold me
And I play, yes, I play, through all of the heartache and pain.
I will find a new place in life, fresh and unharmed by history.
Me, myself, my precious little girls and my beautiful young women who forever will be in my care.
We are Brave.
Together
Forever
Safe
Loved.
