# Sadly true,  and difficult.. all of it.. but you are the defiant-one-- Your greatest act of defiance is to love deeply, the very one that she so excelled at in nearly completely dismembering. We who care about you,  cringe at the thought of you even remotely agreeing with the horrendous message  that she put into you. No one that cares about you agrees with that message.. including you. She did her job well, gorgeous.. you are split almost  into two separate people-- the you who agrees with her because of the guilt and shame she put on you,   for going against her self-centered   view of the world (and the all too vulnerable, little you) But there is another part of you   that thrives through creativity.. almost as an advocate/encourager of the misfits.. the downtrodden. You are in essence, a comforter of your own,  broken   and dismembered self. #

You throw your head back And you spit in the wind Let the walls crack 'Cause it lets the light in Let 'em drag you through hell They can't tell you to change who you are (That's all I know so far) And when the storm's out You'll run in the rain Put your sword down Dive right into the pain Stay unfiltered and loud You'll be proud of that skin full of scars That's all I know so far That's all I know so far I will be with you till the world blows up my beautiful little scrapper https://youtu.be/wGj9oADcyRs xo
