I bore the brunt of every failing, every memory fraught with your regret. Make no mistake, it's my privilege. You can't shame me into feeling sin for the nightmare that i grew up in. Desecrate, relegate, my soul will never be broken. Your words can't hurt me anymore. Every scar i suffered paved the way for a love i've never known. I'll show you every day so you never have to live like her. You'll never know that pain. I won't apologize for who i am or regret my damaged dreams. 'cause you'll never hear me scream these words about what life was like for me. So Hiba, this is your world now. Live a life without regret. Tell your mother every day you love her. Thank her every chance you get. You won't be raised afraid. I don't blame you, the decisions were mine, but come what may i own my life. I owned my life.
