I read a poem today that said it is hard to look at someone when you know you destroyed them,

that this is why people disappear,

and I cannot put it any more clearly

you did not destroy me

no matter how much I may have thought you did once,

you never held that kind of power.

Inspired by a poem by Stephanie Bennett-Henry.

    A perfect reclaiming of power! It's about taking back control, owning your strength, and realizing no one truly has the ability to destroy you. Such a powerful reminder of resilience and self-worth!
