To my inner child

We made it, baby girl.
After all those terrifying nights,
We now sleep in the safest arms.
After all those unsure days,
Now you have a steady job that allows you 
To travel the world - your dream, remember?
After being locked for so many times,
Now you have the freedom that comes with a soulmate.
After being so hard on yourself for so very long,
Now you sail the self-love sea.
After all those violations,
Now you have well set boundaries.
You lost your mother in the process,
When I finally saw all the harm she did to you.
She was just … less than the molestation,
It took a while to recognise her form of abuse.
I apologise for the hell you went through,
No soul deserves such heart wrenching treatment.

We are safe. We are happy. We are loved.
We are far away from all that harm.
We made it!
