I wrote this when I finally was done shrinking myself for anyone who couldn’t handle my truth. At some point being nice and pleasing others is not enough to break through those old pleasing behaviors. It takes fierceness wrapped in Self Love
Don’t you dare
tell me that I cannot trust the wisdom
at the core of my innermost Being
that fills every cell in my body
informing me of what it true and what is not,
that allows me to Be and Become all that I am
no matter what anyone says
Don’t you dare
tell me ever again that what I know, is not true
and that when I say ‘no’
it means I am rigid or too sensitive
and that when I stand up and speak my Truth
I should believe you instead
Don’t you ever dare
push me down again as I rise out of the ashes,
speak to me as if you know me better than I do
and that being Me is not enough
If you want to talk to me, please address me
as a Woman of Love
a Woman of Wisdom
honoring me as your true equal
a divine expression different than you
I am out of the box – I have found my Voice
and now only engage with those
who dare to be authentic and undefended
respectful, loving and who inspire me.
My time has become too precious
to waste it on anything less than Love
