you survived little one. i'm here. still kind of little.
only much older. much tamer.
still outraged by injustice. indignity. indifference.
your little heart always reacted to other's suffering. you
wept for them. on the inside. you screamed to god with silent
pleadings to make abusers stop. make him stop.
i remember your fantasies of vengeance. justice. retribution.
dear little one, your heart is fierce. still fierce.
if you had the strength to stop him. you would. your wit is
no match for his strength. you lose every time. you must try.
you become jaded. cynical. ugly. bitter. ambivalent.
you don't settle there. your heart won't let you.
you run to jesus. in your thoughts. you remember his words.
what he said on the cross. forgive them.
your sharp edges become softened.
you survived.
you are still overcoming.
