I used to be the acorn
but now…I’m the oak tree too
there is still some renovation
for me to achieve and do
but now I feel the goddess
pushing up, and out of me
she’s no longer content to be
trapped in self-imposed captivity
the sensual energy of the cosmos
resides underneath my skin
no longer can I dim my light
no longer can I try and pretend
to not understand the power
that courses through my veins
i fully grasp that I’m a warrior
now my succulent life can begin
I’m no shrinking violet
never been a damsel in distress
it used to be appealing to try to be
time to give that shit a rest
so off come the old protective layers
raw with vulnerable bravery
stepping into my highest expression
no-one but source/self to save me.
