Restoring your soul to it’s rightful position
You screamed for someone to wake you up, pounding your hands on the pavement covered in blood. You ran to everyone for help and no one came, they feared for their own lives as you had lost yours. They told you to get over it, as you woke up screaming night after night. They sealed your lips shut. They silenced you into submission. Justice was never served upon your name. You were just another black girl in the system. “I don’t remember,” you would say, but in my heart I knew that you remembered that day. And I can’t promise you much, but I can promise you this-I will restore your soul to its rightful position.

In loving memory to all the girls who were silenced into abuse. May your soul be restored to its rightful place and justice brought upon your name.

*for those who don’t know, the name Aomame comes from the book 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, she is a trained assassin who goes after abusive men in power. Her bestfriend died at the hands of abuse and she swore her life into seeking justice for those who were forced into silence by the very same people who swore an oath to protect.
