Chapter 85: the journey continues

a journey in my own skinWords: 340

Before, during, after—each step a part,

A journey of healing, a journey of heart.

The scars are a map, a reminder of me,

Of who I was, who I am, and who I'll be.

The road isn't over, but I walk with pride,

Knowing that this was always mine to decide.

I am whole, I am free, I am who I was meant to be,

And every step forward is a victory.
