Every smile
Every laugh
Every tear
Every attempt to hide the sadness

It is all strength
I am living
I am surviving

My past
My story
It's a tribute to me

It shows I can live
Even after heartbreak
Even after ****
Even after assault
Even after being used by friends
Even after losing friends

I have survived this long
I will survive the rest of my journey

And in the end anyone who has Crossed me will see

I am victorious
I am special and wonderful
And they lost out on having me
They lost out on my love and care.
I am Victoria and I will be victorious.

They say scars are ugly.
They tell us to cover it up as if it's shameful to have one.
But scars are proof that we overcame a battle,
And though we had been wounded,
We survived.

The stories behind scars proved that
We did not stay in ruins after chaos.
We got up and started to build an upgraded version of ourselves.
And those scars are reminders that
We can grow stronger throughout our journey.

Each scar deserves a place in this life.
So we can look back at it
As if one looks at a masterpiece displayed in the finest museum.

"Near death experience",
lies
somewhere
between
loving and unloving someone..

Love is not torture, it
Is just pain.
Love will not lose, nor
Will it gain.
Love will not speak, but
It isn't silent.
Love is not peace, nor
Is it violent.
Love is right, but
Also so wrong.
Love is everything , or
Nothing at all.

the same blue chairs
the same smudged whiteboards
the same ****** teachers
for 13 years
its not preparation for life
its torture
pure torture
your brain in molded
to think the way society wants you to think
the lack of freedom to think in  this world
is what holds us back the most
we must be normal
well what if i dont want to be normal
theres more to life than a nine to five
a wife and two kids
a church wedding and a mortgage
live with no regrets
fufil your every want and need
live to experience
and die with content
