I have gained my strength under the feet of those who have sought to oppress me. I found freedom in the cage of one sided monogamy. I have claimed self to spite those who have attempted to unmake me. I have become aware of a love within self that encompasses the existence of another without denying my being. I am spirit and flesh. I am phoenix. I am fire. I am ashes. I am water. I am life and death, creation and destruction. I am yin. I am yang. I am whole. 7.12.22
