The demon lies dead, his ugly form crumpled and destroyed.

Where once I shook with terror, I now tremble with laughter.

I am free, at last.

The pain is not gone. Perhaps it will never be gone. There will be misery, there will be tears.

But they will be my tears, not his.

He may have stolen my life from me, but he did not take away my soul. No one can take that from me.

So I will let go of what he took. He can keep it. It means nothing to me now.

I am free.

No more fear, no more running. I will boldly stride forward. I don't need to keep reminding myself of what happend. Not anymore. I am ready, to leave what is past in the past.


This may be but a step, but it is a major step. Thank you for letting me share.

That was beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

I agree it's a major step.......congratulations........

sounds like you are free at last.

Mage......

If only others can find that freedom.....yes, you may have found it, or maybe it's a wish.......but the fact that you wrote it brings so much hope for the rest of us who can't find it at all.

It is a big step and so much said in those words. I hope that you keep that light inside your soul that belongs to only you, because that it does............it belongs to only you.

Thank you or the inspiration to put things behind me. You put into words what I have not been able to. Now it has helped me to understand my feelings and my past in a much more positive light.

Thank you so much

Thank you, friends. This particular sub-forum tends to have a significant lacking of hope, understandably of course. I don't think that many (if any) of us will ever return to the state we were before what happend happend, but it doesn't mean we have to live our lives in some sort of unending hell.

Even if there is no light at the end of the tunnel, there's always a matchbook in your pocket.

I think the most important thing is to believe in yourself, as cliche as it might sound.

I hope you all feel better, if only a little bit.

Thanks for a little bit of hope in a dark world.
