Remarkable

I am remarkable.

I was before the abuse.

I was during the abuse.

I am after the abuse.

But never ever because of it.

Nor because I survived it.

It did not make me a stronger person.

There’s no god to turn bad things into something good.

Nothing good in my life is a result of the abuse. Not. A. Thing. Nothing.

I am remarkable and it has nothing to do with the abuse.

And I always was. I just didn’t know it. Until now.

Remarkable: adjective worthy of attention; striking.
