They say that time dulls all pain but the opposite has been true for me. The more past tense it was the more vivid the nightmares would become.
These marks of my past linger here on my arms and make my present feel like a second place at least in the wake of all the harm I caused.
But I do not have to live back in those days anymore...I stand here so totally different then I was before.
I am so scared to let go and be free so terrified of being the real me. Although I think I will open my eyes and trule see.
Like the phoenix I wish to rise from this ash and fly high in the sky leaving the emotional scars behind.
It is all out there for the taking everything is just waiting and I no longer want to walk through the streets faking a smile.
And so I invite you to meet the real Sami...she has been gone awhile but I have faith that she still lives within me and it is time to set me free.
