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!

Be the hunter, not the hunted

You may have clipped my wings,

You may have poisoned my veins.

You may have destroyed my womb,

You may have taken security away from me.

You looked me in the eyes

With your cold smile

And dared to tell me that’s

How a father loves his child.

Your sex was the bottle,

Do you remember, father?

You may have tried to kill me,

You may have tried to silence me.

But you did nothing of the sort.

I am a survivor,

See me soar.

With all the women behind me,

Walking in the same yelling footsteps

With all the children behind me,

Holding the world on our burdened shoulders.

I am in everything, with love.

So who won in the end?
