Remembering almost breaks me because some dragons won’t stay slain and the shadows will follow me forever. I remember the time I nearly lost myself. My heart was broken and my dreams abandoned me and I was disillusioned and I felt beautiful for the first time in my life looking at my face in a broken mirror by candlelight and I believed in happily ever after- I thought I'd never find mine, and I swore to myself in writing certain things... that I'll never say at all because I was lost and alone and crying in the dark with an open notebook I could pour me secrets to, and I remember when I lost my faith and when I wondered how God could be so cruel and why people keep so many secrets and how I could be so blind as to not know... I look at my hands and I see some of the scars on them and I'm glad I'm not naked or then I could see all my scars and know all the stories and lies to go with them and I know I'll never let go of what I was- because it's what I’m still becoming.

It is very intriguing, I mean I couldn't stop reading and I see this young girl who is trying to move on and find happiness but feeling like she's losing herself in the process.

It's beautiful!!! U'know what???? Scars are scartched by Satan himself just to remind us of our ugly past but when u place u'r self where u r right now be sure not to dwell on the ugly past but how the ugly faded to be beautified and to be more beautiful, and then u'll find a song break in your heart, a song not of melencholy but of joy!!!

Sorrow is an inexorable part of the joy we feel in life. I hope you have grown stronger. The hard times don't ever end, nor beauty, or love. We all have scars.
