By way of love, you saw the deficiency
that I brushed off, after not
acknowledging the defaults in me.
Candor whispered and
walked into the halls of healing,
when fell and bruised my heart.
The darkness for months or even years,
but the light was coming,
just like the silver that peeks through
the depths of the seas.
Overflowed with love, as
gentle and merciful like the grace
that carried me like thunderbolts.
It took night rendezvous for me to realize
the level of independence that existed,
a victorious and fearless woman that I am and blossoming into.
At times it is imperative to disconnect and let
stillness fills your soul as you
ascend as a phoenix.
Yes, I admit to stumbling from my failures,
but I only fail forwards, like
everything in life,
the level of enthusiasm is cathartic
Sun warms my heart, as I exult in elated spirits,
I cannot stop the journey of healing; I thank you for teaching
valuable lessons, making me acknowledge my defaults and taking
active steps to heal, as to you, you’ve never moved an inch,
stayed in your squalid,
delipidated, demented state of victimhood.
You dared to question my femininity or existence,
because of your insecurity as a man.
next time when I am approached by trash, I’ll know its’ formation
and nature, and by more than satisfied to leave it where it belongs,
6 feet below.
So, when the rain falls, I should listen,
and not be dazzled by the flattery of your words,
because I didn’t dare to change or didn’t
know the power that I held inside of me.
Drapes fell on the shadow of the whispers of the ocean,
as the wind leveraged south, I stood firmly into my power, the more
recognized the power of my words, but most importantly,
the power of my voice that you passionately tried to silence.
Anchored like the sparrow that you were
afraid of because it illuminated
your flaws, but I didn’t know any better,
because I was told to dim my light
to satisfy peoples’ insecurity and discomfort.
Ironically, you came into my life to save my life
and break the chain. By the way, of love,
I had things to do, things to master, and
things to conquer. Restless because
I don’t have any more time to waste.
Healing is synonymous with bravery and learning to
embrace the strength within
and realize one’s full potential, hence,
with a new day arising comes
new power and new thoughts.
The courage to change is when one
is tenacious, determined, filled with
grit and drive because they
don’t want to revisit the past.
