The Ilavarasi in me...

He could always make it work... it was magic!
Maybe he still can, we haven't given it a try for a while.
But this time it wasn't him, it was what he had given me... the Ilavarasi in me.

I know I don't always feel like one, but I know she lives in me.
She was once lost in the woods, and came out of it untouched, unharmed, and with new strengths. She has faced demons, and defeated them. She has been wounded, and has healed. And since she was given to me, and since I was made her... I can pluck up the courage to do what I have to do and come out of it alive, no matter how long it takes to heal. Be the Ilavarasi I am, strong, caring, decided, loving, brave, full dreams, and with a lot of nerve.
Even if I have to convince myself that I am one, I gotta let her act.
So be it...
