Let go.

    This is best seen bigger.

    There comes a time when we must let go of what is hurting us, even if we love him.

    I can’t stop playing
    The dolls to pretty
    Their nails spear my hands
    Twisted briars in my mind
    He warned me
    I never listen

    I showed him my hand
    Broken hearts inside my palms
    A different symphony
    For every song unsung
    Without hesitation
    He unscrews my hands
    Unwinds my pain
    Undoes desecration
    A head full of dolls
    A porcelain heart bleeds nightmare faces
    Scar my vision
    My warped perceptions

    He works hard
    At clearing out the shames
    Always forgiving me
    When I pick up another one
    Shattered memories of a dirty girl
    Slithering lies inside me
    His soft hands guard my ears
    His scars scream Victory into my mind
    A loud reminder of who owns me…

    Who won me… renames me
    Who…reclaims me

    “Victory, My Victory
    Give me your ear
    Lift your head…look at me
    The men who rushed you
    Who thrushed you
    Are at the end of my spear
    Let your hair down
    Let the song birds go…
    Hush the electric hum
    Have no fear…your wine is mine
    With me there are no tears.”

      so so emotional. I'm wondering if the shoes are too clumsy for a ballerina. The distance between her and the shoes in the other photo might mean the throwing off of encumbrances?
      what a beautiful shot
