I accomplished much in 7 years.
I learned to trust, love and have faith again. You no longer hold it. I have found someone that loves me unconditionally & beyond comprehension, like you said I wouldn’t. He and I have been blessed with two handsome boys who have already learned right from wrong at their tender ages. Have you yet learned? I learned to be true to myself and those who stick by me, are true to me as well. Do you still lie to fulfill your needs?
I discovered I have worth & meaning, which led to my non-profit that will make a difference. I am beautiful, without makeup, regardless of what you said. I am smart and strong, even on my weakest day. You told me I wasn’t good enough for life, but now I know you were talking to yourself. I pity you for how you used me to accomplish a self-esteem high, I am not a thing.
I value my mind & skills, so I am back on the same ground as I was 7 years ago earning my college degree. I am no longer scared. I gain strength every day I step foot on campus, I’m succeeding. I will not stunt my ability to help others because of your hopes of diminishing my dreams. You gave me an obstacle and I overcame it, you will not keep me down.
I accomplished much in 7 years.
I am no longer a girl that keeps quiet, but a woman who ROARS! I don’t stand by when someone is wronged; I stand UP and RISE against! I’m not weak in faith, but walk every step with the Lord! I’m building an army of truth and you cannot touch my Armor! Good will prevail, I have hope. I hold on to hope.
“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”

Happy 7th Anniversary, to me.
