I shared my struggles, the things that drained me from inside,
Yet they chose to punish me and label me as flawed.
But I faced my shadows and alchemized them into light,
With love in my heart, I forgave the stones that made me trip and fall.

I am a beautiful human, I came here to learn and to grow,
There is nothing they can weaponize once I have faced it all.
My pain, my traumas, my beauty, and every scar,
Without these lessons I wouldn’t remember who I truly am.

I am a woman who feels, who cries, who sometimes holds resentment,
Yet through time and shadow work I’ve learned how to surrender.
I look into the mirror and suddenly I remember
I softly wipe my tears away and rise, elated.

I hold no regrets, nor do I wait for anyone’s apology,
This is my sacred journey that I must humbly walk.
So I love you all, I truly do, with such a lightened heart,
Grateful for the moments that still fill me with awe.

Opinions are reflections and have nothing to do with me,
You must remember, dear ones: you are what you see.
In this grand simulation you’re the captain of your ship
So wake up, my dearies, for the reckoning draws near.
