You covered my skin in dirt.
You affirmed it was love.
You hated the purity I wore.
You cut deep into my heart.
You confused my mind.
You made me feel filthy.
You wanted me in rags on knees.
You hated how tall I stood.
You hated the fire you vowed to tame.
I told you no one tames a lion.
We roared because you were a lion too.
Fire meeting fire making the flames taller.
It consumed everything around us to ashes.
It became the light vs the dark.
We battled night and day.
Always circling ready for battle.
Born on the same day.
Made my birthdate a curse.
It was the day you were born too.
You wanted to feast on my heart.
You wanted to destroy the light.
Yet it only grew brighter.
So I became your dark obsession.
Stalking for another round.
I burned every bridge down.
It led to you.
The price my solitude.
I don't regret it.
Now they all see you.
As the beast you are.
Now I am ready to roam the lands.
My solitude over.
I will never let you take my light.
I will never let you take my power.
It's mine go find your own.

It terrible isn't it, when somebody hates that you are a strong woman and they feel the need to beat you down to nothing, I have literally been beat, choked so that I passed out,it was my stepdad, He hated that I was so strong growing up, even now,but I am a strong woman, God makes us strong for a reason, that reason being that He knows how our life will go and made us strong so that we can endure it all, and rise up to do the job that He has for us, that is why Ruby is a survivor and endured plenty,but her time to rise will truly be a sight to behold, I think of the song,Overcomer by mandisa
Thank You! I am sorry that a weak man did that to you. I am happy that you found God in the process and healed. We are all survivors of trauma. But stronger for it because it taught us to stand taller. One day Ruby will learn how to but she needs to choose to at her own pace.
Absolutely will, now I have God and Dion,the only two men I need in my life,we will all be happy and together one day, including you, Ruby, emmab and I,our little support system

It’s never nice to be made me feel small and trampled upon ! A great empowering writing .. I like how you have expressed yourself in this . Nobody has the right to take our light away and make us so sad
Thank you! I am glad I found my light again. I would be lost without it.
