A vintage color photograph of a smiling woman wearing glasses and a pearl necklace holding a baby approximately 1 year old, set against a blurred black and white background. A poem titled "After Effect" about survival, resilience, and self-discovery is overlaid in white text. After Effect Despite the darkness, I am growing. There's a place inside me knowing. I learned from you how to survive, But you didn't teach me how to thrive. I learned that on my own Long after I'd grown. ©2026 WickedLizzie
