You held me down, and I fought you off. I thought I had won, that I was OK. Others had been through worse, right? I was one of the lucky ones.
But, the scars you left weren't physical at all. It was more than that. A suggestion that my appearance could attract such force.
Well, that's it. This ends now. I'm ready to heal. Face the fear.
Your strong hands have no power over me now, because I'm taking my life back. Even though I didn't realize until recently, I had ever lost it.
I'm safe. I'm safe. I'm safe.
I'll repeat the phrase until I truly believe it, knowing those who surround me now are right about the fact that I deserve a fulfilled life. For the outside to match the inside.
No more hiding behind these extra layers of security.
I will be free.

bloom.
I can see your tiny body, standing steadfast and strong. Like a flower fighting against the wind to stay upright.
Just remember sometimes it's OK. To be afraid of that powerful breeze. The other meadow residents won't blame you for allowing your stem to sway.
The buds and blooms around you have been a witness to your resilience before. This may be the first time the pests have attacked your core, but not the first fight you've led against something unfamiliar.
So, little flower...please listen. Realize, YOU are more than just your hardships and hurdles, more than the insects that take your strength. You are a beautiful bud, ready to open. As if to say, "Damn you wind, pests, and fury of nature...I will battle to bloom, and you can't stand in my way."
~~~
stay strong, friend.

wall.
Come here, I have something to tell you. I'll put this as nicely as possible.
There is a difference between venting, and attracting additional drama into your life.
Is it really doing any good? Working yourself up, over and over?
While you are busy talking of wilted dreams and flowers...a life of peace, sunshine, and fulfillment is waiting quietly for you to claim it.
So, I will continue to listen, but hope you see the smiles worth living for, on the other side of the wall of rage.
