Unbreakable

was raised to be the good girl, the obedient daughter.

What I wanted was to break free, to be the woman I knew was inside me.

To take control, be controlled and embrace my sexuality.

But there was a debt to be paid and I was the currency.

I had one chance to barter for my freedom, limited as it was.

To live to the fullest in the short time I had left.

I thought when the time came, I could walk away and do what I was supposed to.

What I didn’t expect were the men who came into my life, worming their way into my heart.
