Trash

She will go

Her whole life

Believing the lie

I am a Woman,

Power, mystery, beauty, strength.

I am a warm river, rushing and inviting,

Dive in and you will be

Swimming

In honey and fire, cold and refreshing streams

Sit down and

Open your mind

I will share

Thoughts and theories

What does it mean to be human?

Open your eyes

And I will show you

Moments of judgment, criticism,

Pain that could fill oceans

If I show you what I have seen

It will bring you to your knees

If I take you through my memories

You might be tempted

To look away

Uncomfortable, vulnerable

Raw and a little

Bloody

But it’s real.

And when you swallow your pride

And let go of inhibitions

You will find my heart to be

The most nurturing home

You will find

Beauty that makes you weep

Grace that heals you,

Mercy and compassion that strengthens you,

Goodness that inspires you

Courage and resilience,

A force against darkness

I am Woman,
