To the Little Girl I Used to Be: Scarlett Letters

To the Little Girl I Used to Be:

The words stung. 

Your sweet little girl heart couldn't understand a world where those words could be a lie. 

So you believed them. 

Blame for what happened to you turned to a name you answered to and lived by: Whore

Scarlett letters in the form of fat multiplied, and a prison you lived in. 

But the words were not true. 

It wasn't your fault. 

You didn't ask for it, or allow it to happen.

The shame heaped upon you was a projection of their shame, not yours. 

You can stop preserving those scarlett letters, and let the wounds heal. 

Whore is not a name you need to answer to or live by.
