I don't need a saviour, I never did. What I need is someone to be there for me when I don't have enough in me to keep going. Someone who respects me and treats me well. And someone who doesn't go back on their word when they promised to be there no matter what.

No one's going to take my soul away. You enter my life, you exit my life. I will remain sweet. I will remain kind and patient. I will love, forgive, appreciate... I will remain myself and grow even more into who I am. No one's going to take my soul away. Curse me, use me, lie to me - my integrity is mine to uphold. No one's going to take my soul away

You wanna know what it is? I think there comes a time in every woman's life when she realizes that it's gonna be okay, and that she's gonna be okay. A time when she stops putting other people before herself and starts feeling good about putting herself all the way first. A time when she's ready to take back the control over her for a change... and that's where I'm at right now. I'm in that time zone, and I'm finally doing right by me.

And not using it

No matter how

They hurt you.

Destruction is important because it is when you burn everything you are attached to and the identities you perceive yourself as, that a shining soul will emerge.
