you have to realize you have power first in order to harness your power
She knows that she's tough, and I think
thats what scares her.
What she had to go through to be that
strong. Maybe she felt ashamed for the
way she reached that point, the fact that
behind all of her grit was an ugly trail of
dark rooms, harsh words and people who
treated her badly. But then again, maybe
it was how she held herself now, why was
she still slumped over if she was proud of
how far she had come? Was it fear, or not
wanting to accept all the progress she'd made?
Why the hell was she stalling? Does it not feel
like the right time to celebrate? Does she not
feel like she earned it? Or was it that everytime
she felt the tiniest bit of happiness, she came up
with some reason why it was invalid, like her mom
had raised her to feel. Like her dad had proven she was.
She didn't recognize her own strength, even when it was
so obviously there. So what would it take for her to see it?
Where was her power?
What was it?
