They see her walking down the street, and wonder, who is that?
A woman striding so confidently, every step unfiltered and raw

A mix of burning lava flowing, and stoic like the deepest black
She can be the brightest star and still pull you into the dark

 Men stop mid-breath, hearts racing like prey caught in her claw
Her laugh is like rolling thunder over fields swallowed in awe

Leaves them branded with scars shaped like kisses from her jaw
If you ever follow her shadow, down that street at dawn,

Watch out for her, as there’s no mercy in the depth of her wrath
Underestimate her like some did, and find yourself in a pitfall.

She’s a woman made of fire, you can see it by just her walk
Everywhere the woman goes, without trying she leaves a mark

Her presence is really something, magnetized by her bloody talk
Inside her burns a volcano wrapped in silk, steady and ready to erupt.

I told the truth, and made some mad
Felt threatened, and told me to stop
Tell me who I am, no they cannot
Control my reality, no they could not

Better the view, way from the top
They see me rise, and I see them fall
I got fed up, and said enough
They criticize, I say shut up

Comparing me, and cannot match
I raise my voice, and they are shocked
Some mocking me, and then I block
They had a say, now it’s my turn

Out of my way, have them kick rocks
Call me black sheep, better than lost
I am the one, and they are pawns
Triggering them, with just one word

If the shoe fits, it’s not my fault
I am now free, I know my worth
The slate is clear, facing the sun
A brand new me, I have transformed.

Raven Archer.

You called me the problem,
but the problem is you.
I’m glad I see clearly now—
I won’t become someone like you. 

You’re blinded by your own view,
to the truth right in front of you.
I have a mind of my own now,
and I’m finally speaking my truth.  

I won’t appease you anymore,
I refuse to betray myself.
I’m done making myself smaller for you—
if that makes you bitter, oh well.

I look into the mirror and see a new face,
My eyes so familiar, despite the new name.

I hold up my hand, and think “wow, how cool”,
With just a simple command, I can get it to move.

The air in my lungs, so clean and so fresh,
The energy is rising with each breath that I take.

Feeling the love in a beating bright heart,
Such sensitivity that translates into warmth.

I say just a word, and I suddenly create,
Emotions backed up by unshakeable faith.

I see all the stars and they look back at me,
Connection takes place when I hug ancient trees.

My feet feel the grounding as I step on soft soil,
Sweet scent floats around when the rain has it moist,

Curiosity strikes whenever I see something new,
Just like a newborn, who just came out of the womb.

A new journey is filled with flowers that I can smell,
I walk the path with a clear purpose engraved.

Facing any fears when I remember the love,
Justice radiates when I take out the sword.

Intelligence is mixed with intuitive sight,
I open my heart and I become the light.

Raising my hands when I reach for the sun,
Feeling a surge as it charges my core.

What a beautiful vessel I get to possess,
Such special child that always elevates.

Hands are on fire as I lift the bright sphere,
Eye is wide open, I can see it so clear.

I look into the mirror and see a new face,
My eyes so familiar, with so much to say.
