Writing on a woman's bare back: I will break free from my chains for they have finally exposed themselves. With each chain that I break I let lightness in. The lightness warms and comforts me as you couldn't. You have no power over me now. To invade. To control To manipulate. To crush. Your actions almost squeezed the life out of me. Why should I cower from life? for you? Never! I owe you nothing. I am a strong courageous woman. I seek no revenge. The vicious whip you unleashed on me will turn on you and its sting will be too much for you to bear
