The face of a resilient woman
The other evening I was getting dressed after my bath and a woman caught my eye. It was the face of a resilient woman. The face of a woman who has endured, who has battle scars proving she was here and she still remains whole, despite the world taking pieces of her. That she surpassed what those who continually doubted her and thought she could not do. That of which she accomplished anyways, without needing any validation or praise. A woman who has been to hell and back, carrying a child on her shoulder to protect her from the cold. A woman open to love, and who time and time again was met with a similar and familiar lesson, a constant traumatic, repetitive, intense cycle of which she needed to learn to break. A woman who gave zero fucks about what society wanted her to be or to conform to. A woman as free as the wind, that life continually tried to shut down, knock down, and quiet. A woman who.
Well you know what? I am that woman.
The woman who plays with fire.
The woman who runs out to be in the rain.
The woman not afraid to get lost in the forest because the trees embrace her.
The woman not afraid to not text back because why even when a phone call is so connected.
A woman going through the most intense, eye opening transmutation of this lifetime.
I am that woman.
The woman not afraid to speak my mind.
The woman bold enough to ask for what she wants (and gets it).
The woman to call it quits even when it feels nice because her gut tells her something just isn’t quite right.
Society doesn’t have a word for me because I am a new type of woman, brought into existence by the current need of humanity.
May I remain free and able to spread my wings as far as I please.
May I continue to write poetry for the people who simply can’t help but to feel too much.
May I continue to write songs for those in need of someone who understands that lives filled with pain need an outlet too.
And no, you can not have my autograph. I do not owe you my time. My time is my own to choose how to spend as I please.
I am a resilient woman, and despite what life has thrown at me, I will always heal.
