You made me strong. You taught me well. I am the torch bearer to the truth you whispered in my ear. I am your little soldier, and I will never forget that you saved me. I am still your little girl at heart even though the world is a cruel place; don't you worry about me. Although certain things have changed me, I refuse to let them reduce my sense of self. I have let go of the illusions I used to cling to but am still naïve. I am ready to conquer my demons and will always be your daughter.
