And I remember... And I resist
Darkness surrounded the compass of my soul. In cased my mind in its own pain. I allowed my self to suffer because it was all I knew. The pain was home but now... I'm free. My soul broke through the darkness that surrounded all four sides... The pain no longer lingered....
Just scars.
Drawings on the flesh of my thighs... My sides and my wrists. That's all that's left... but I'm still haunted. Memories that bring back the pain, the need... The want
And I remember... And I resist
And darkness grabs me by my throat... And I fight back. And he yells at me to surrender, to go back to him... And I respond with no, never again. And he throws memories at me with a bow and an arrow, each spear head leaving a fresh new wound... And as they hit me I cry in pain... And as I fall I lift my head... And as the tears burn down my cheeks and the arrows dig deep I stand... And I resist... And I fight... And I remember, the light that I have found. The happiness that surrounds. The love I try to find... And I remember the pain... The darkness... And I resist the need to fall back. I stand tall with my chin pointing forward... Scars on my thighs and my sides and my wrists... And proudly I remember... And proudly I resist... And proudly do I shout the words I have survived and I will keep keep going because I will remember... And because I remember I will survive.
