Today I Live my Life. . .
Today I live my life as if I am still that exploited little girl.Today I live my life as if I am powerless, but she has the
power to keep me stuck in that long ago world.
Today I live my life as if I agree with the perpetrator and I have little value and not rights.
Today I live my life as if forever I will be plagued with the chaos of long lonely nights.

Today I live my life. . .
Today I live my life, as if this were still my yesterday instead of the possibility of making exchanges for a restored me and a new day.
But underneath how I live today, is a need to internalize new messages and open up the way.
