I used to believe
That if i couldnt be known as someone i would always be nothing
But im wrong
My nightmares are slowly changing
An ongoing nightmare came to me one night
Came to me just as it always has
The woman who would grab me and drag me
She stood by the tree
This time i didnt cower in fear
But i had flowers and walked up to her
"Thankyou for being alive" I told her
"Thankyou for being you. For being here"
She looked at me
Eyes filled with sorrow
Smile filled with remorse
Her bloodied gown now glowed a beautiful color
Her scary self became beautiful
No longer walking the depths of hell
She walked through the clouds of heaven
She hugged me
Like a fairy tale she vanished
Whispering the words of a broken song
Apologizing to me as if all she did was wrong
Thankyou left my lips
Tears fell from my eyes
My nightmare will come no more
My nightmare was me
That woman was me
She left because i changed into a woman i am proud to be
I will glow just as she did
This is my story.
Thankyou for listening

*Ive had the same ongoing nightmare for as long as i can remember. For a full week she haunted me. And slowly after that it just came to me . One dream one month. The dream in 2 months. and so on. Continually Dragging me down. When i told my friend about this final dream she looked at me and told me, "Damn. Thats deep. What if she was you? And now that you are free and happy with yourself she glowed that way. You will no longer be dragged down by yourself. But you will continue to be lifted up"*
