I took your matches before fire could catch me...~ Taylor Swift

I learned a rather important lesson the other day. It turns out that the person I had dated in the past was an awful person. He has done and is doing many things that are so wrong to hurt others. I have to deal with him one more time for legal reasons. This means to me that I have one last chance to stand in front of this monster and tell the world my story. I will not lack confidence in myself. Because I choose not to just stand up for myself, but for all of these young girls that he has tried to ruin in his path. If I don't stand up for all of us then no one will. He chose the wrong girl to mess with this time. When I love, I love deeply, and that also goes for strangers. I may not know all of the other girls that he has destroyed, but I know what it feels like to be tangled in his control. This guy is a predator, but I refuse to be his prey. If I only got to say one more thing to him then I would say this, 

            "You are a tornado thinking that you can demolish anything in your path. You tried to pull me apart, but I was too deeply  rooted in the ground. You may have torn a couple of "leaves" off of me, but don't you know that my "leaves" always grow back? Silly silly boy,  you thought you could hurt me, but the parts of me that are broken from you will be stronger before awhile, and it will be as though you were just a blur; A part of my past so small as though it never even existed. So this is me running away from you before it's too late. But now I'm gone, and it is your turn to run because I have come back one more time, but this time it is not to love you. This time I am here to be a firework, a saver for the rest of us girls. So stay away because you know what happens to people who stand close to fireworks, but there is one thing that is special about the fireworks this time...They are never-ending. The only thing it is too late to run back to is us(standing with all of the other girls that he has tried to hurt). (I look into his eyes with a slight hesitation and then say)..... Better start running."
