Wearing Scars With Pride

The scorn of his words

The venom from his lips

Burned her heart and blistered her ego

Momentarily, caught in the rage

Fire burning inside

The inferno encompassed, suffocated

STOP FUELLING IT, she reminded herself

Just stop, she whimpered

Her inner child crying, unsafe once more

Her inner teen boiling, ready to defend again

Block the energy

Let the scorn go

Suck out the venom

Spit it out, returning it to Mother

Let the fire burn out

The ambers turn to coal

Slow down

Breath

Transmute

This is nothing new

Though THIS IS the last time

She rises, the fire now burning within

She lay down her weapons

Though protects still

She is unafraid

Wearing her scars with pride

The million fires that had burned her before

She is fierce, yet gentle

She chooses love and expands her depths

Not ignorant, blinding love

She chooses devotional love, cataclysmic love

To herself

For herself

The wise woman knows

She creates and abolishes

Her courage birthed through moments like these

She is unscorned as once was

Bitterness not reside here

Grateful, present, brave

The light illuminated brighter

Home she returns once more

The yearning gone

She resides within her sacred heart

Embraced by her inner sanctuary

Held safe by her inner warrior

Nurtured by her inner mother

There is nowhere else to be

With no one else but her

She is safe, held, protected

She is worthy of her own love

She honours her boundaries

She grows from it all

How sweet it is to be loved by you, she whispers

Self love, self respect, self acceptance

She grows because she knows

It's not external to her

She is the projector of it all

The holograms of life is her reflection

She faces it, goes within

Breathes in the pain

Softens a little more

Expands to new paradigms

She welcomes the truth of her soul

She always was and always will be who she is looking for

She is the one

She is ready to receive her love
