You can inflict damage upon me, but you can never take me and even if you try I will always rebuild myself. I no longer fear you, I no longer fear the pain, the nightmares, the flashbacks - the horrors. I only fear myself. I have lived my life in fear of the wrong person. Never again. Never again. Never again I say over and over, screaming inside of my head attempting to take back my power. It is my power.

We can sit by the water and watch it glisten in the sun. We can sit under the moon and reflect on all ...
