It’s ok to let the past rest
It’s time to move on
It’s time to stop giving your pain power
Your feelings are valid
I see you
Come back home to yourself
There’s healing
In the path moving forward

I’ve anchored myself
In your love
Pulled you into the depth
Of my arms
Kissed you slowly
As if time was mine to
Command
I’ve painted your soul
Upon my skin
So the world could see
This ebullient love
I called mine

I’ve had enough
I’ve wiped my hands clean
The breaking is evident
I’ve loved and lost
I’ll clean up the mess
You’ve made of me
My bones are weeping
Begging me to look inward
To step in from the cold
To let you go
If only my bones know
That I’ve been loving you
Since the dawn of time
And sometimes love
Is eternal

I am sending you hope
And love and light and goodness
Wrap your arms around your
Beautiful wholeness
And embrace the gift that you are
You might not be feeling
Like yourself right now
But there’s a tincture of light
Behind those dark clouds
Turn your face towards the sun
And let it fill you with peace

I am still hopeful
Deep down in the silence
Beneath the darkness
A flame still burns
I’ve seen too much
I’ve endured too much
I’ve prayed too much
To give in now
I’m painting a rainbow
Over my scars
I’m washing the ugliness
From my tongue
I am speaking to the mountains
And the walls and the empty spaces
Receptive souls will hear
The broken heart will hear
Grieving families will hear
The children will hear
The confused and disillusion will hear
They will come
They will listen
For in our bellies
Rooted deep we have an innate
Desire to see change
To feel hopeful
So today
Come as you are
Hear my voice
Let change begin with you
One voice
One word
Softly spoken
Are you listening

You will feel the decay
On the edges of your soul
You will
See the answers but will be
Unable to grasped it
The days became heavy
Darkness walks about
Looking for souls
On the verge of collapsing

If you are feeling worn out and tired. If your heart is tied up in knots and there are darks clouds gathering in your soul.
Give yourself permission to let go. You are worthy, you are able, you are enough.
This season of hardship and chaos will pass, and you will once again feel peace in your soul.
Give yourself grace today!

They will break you
Slowly they will watch you crash and burn
Under critical eyes they will steal your joy
They will laugh at your shame
But
They forget that pain builds strength
And heartache builds character
And soon your fractured soul will rise
And the world will hear
You roar

…and we are daughters of silence no more. What was meant to drown us has filled our lungs with embolden truth. We are rising, we are making it known that fear no longer controls us. We are no longer weak and selfless, we are survivors, walking the path of self healing and soul restoration.
….and we are victims of abused no more. We are coming home with your hearts bloody and raw. We will wear our pain like a crown because we have fought and won. These are my sisters, forged in fire, bound by blood. Look at us, remember our faces, traced our scars from generation to generations we have stood in the gap, passing down a legacy, a battle cry of freedom.
