I was born on the ruins of a dead heart, to a scream that was my first breath... and her last. Since I opened my eyes to this world, I've only known the word "mother" as whispered stories and petrified tears that couldn't fall. As for "father," his name was only on paper, but in reality... he was a monster wearing a human mask. I grew up in a house that knew no warmth, between screams and deadly silence, between a hand that hurt and a heart that didn't have mercy. And I was waiting, just waiting... I didn't know what, but something inside me was whispering to me: "This is not the end." And at one point in those dark nights, I ran... I don't know where, but I escaped everything. And I found myself in the arms of an old woman named Haven... and, ironically, she was truly haven. I didn't know that a new chapter would lie ahead for my life, that between the breaths of her grandson my femininity would be born, and the first seeds of safety... and love would sprout in my chest.
