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

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.
