Perceptions
People look at me and see
an intelligent woman
a sense of strength beauty
fun personality
wackiness
People do not look at me and see
darkness
dirtiness
shame
stupidity
guilt
In a way this is a good thing
I don't want them to see
the ugliness
the broken child
the weak spirit
I want them to go on believing
everything is fine
normal
happy
But at times, only seldom
I wish people could see
could know
could feel
Would they then understand rape?

When I look at you:
I see strength
I see courage
I see beauty
I see wisdom
I see my wife.
You are all of these things because of your life; because of your past, your present and your future.
You have gained strength as a result of difficult situations through which you have persevered.
You have gained courage by knowing you are strong and that there isn't a single thing in this world that you can't accomplish when you set your mind to it.
You have gained beauty by showing your true self and by being a true role model.
You have gained wisdom by learning from your past and knowing how to deal with every situation.
You have become my wife and made me the happiest man in the world.
I admire you.
I adore you.
I love you.
