Dead Sea

"You're like a dead sea, the finest words you ever said to me.. oh lord, you're like a dead sea.."

Today, August 26th, 2015, I am a survivor.
I made it.
Here I lie in my bed, Netflix in the background, and tears in my eyes because one person changed my life. 
It was so simple.
The kindness, the invitation, the hug.
How was it so easy?
It scares me, the fact that it was that easy.
One little slip of a roofie, and my life has been changed forever.
A burden that I will have in the back of my head until I see my Lord and Savior again, some day.

But.

Here I am. 
And never again, will it be that easy.
My lips will never touch a bottle.
My guard will not be let down so easy by kindness.
A hug, isn't always just a hug.
Playing xbox isn't always just playing xbox.

Today, I am no longer crashes and waves.
I am a dead sea.
The finest words I'll ever be.
I have calmed, my waves are no longer crashing upon my sand.

I am no longer the girl who cries rape.
Instead, I am the girl who says, "I survived."
