I

I do everything with deliberate intention now.

For those minutes he controlled my body, but it's still mine.  It's still mine and it works just fine when I tell it what to do.

I move my arms. To embrace those I love.  he can't hold them down now.

I move my legs.  One day I will spread them with deliberate intention.  With someone I love.

I remove my clothes. To shower, because I want to, after my body is tired from a long day of doing things I want to do.

I lie down.  Next to someone I love, because I like to be close to them.

I close my eyes.  Not out of fear, but to savor a moment that I love, that I want to remember.

I do everything with deliberate intention now, and I do it well.

He better hope I never intend to kick his ass.
