Here’s to always taking our power back! RAWR
A fleeting moment A glimpse of disapproval veiled in silence stayed with me long after you’d forgotten all about it… Today I decide to move ahead shaking you and your views out of my system you do not exist for me as much as I do not exist for you
The form, the message – it’s all good! Enjoy this piece by Sadje! 🙂 Inspired by Eugi’s Weekly Prompt “Identity” July 13, 2020

I
Am me
No one can be me
It is my unique identity
I was gifted with it when I was born
I will keep this identity till the day I die
In between this time, I can develop, hone and refine it
I can make it better or just exist in what I started with
It can be work in progress or it could be a finished product
It has to be my choice what I want my identity to be
You know me by my identity
I am the only one
That is me!

what is that we value
a look, a position, the message
whatever it may be
i do hope we take substance
in consideration
because without that, what matters?
because what we feel, think, hear
is not up for discussion
…the truth is most important
This piece can take you in many directions, but for me, it resonates that this is a story of a woman who is in control of her life. What does it say to you?
Cloaked in red, she stands in prayer
What lurks behind, she is unaware
Within her hands she holds the key
To unlock this forest’s mystery
But she is the only one to know
Will never let these secrets go
Though another lies in wait
For that perfect moment, unlock the fate
Of all who dwell within these woods
To release the forest’s ghostly goods
At last she senses, this maiden fair
Of who he is, she best beware
As he creeps closer, where she stands
And reaches out his unearthly hands
In hopes he can retrieve this key
Believes it belongs to only he
One more step, he is oh so near
And just like that, she disappears
Never able to uncover the mystery
It is locked away, the key, with she.

dysfunction, years in the making
substantive love denied
fuckery freely given
innocence betrayed
rough starts
and disastrous endings
inhaling the methane of my own shit
lungs never quite breathing freely
almost at the end
sinking the lowest
gave rise to aspiration
and just like that, there was hope

Mastery – it’s in you.
Don’t you know that? You mustn’t fear it.
Request the presence of greatness.
Open yourself to be filled with it.
Experience the fibers of your neural pathways strengthening, your veins expanding, and your muscles glowing powerfully.
Then,
Breathe in success and
Taste the accomplishment of your own doing.
A god can’t do that for you.
Never has, never will.
Unclasp and do.
how does one define them
those healthy boundaries
those necessary limitations
one overstep
fucks us up
but is required
for health and sanity
we need limits
that keep us sane
but is that what we are reaching for?
Oh, this piece is filled with so much commitment, love, joy, and empowerment. I felt it all with every line. Enjoy!
You’ve taken up residence
in my heart
and grow
every day more immovable;
when I peer into the cabinets
and corners
I can’t help but to think
I love what you’ve done with it.
Inspired by Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Dance & Reena’s Exploration Challenge #182
life is a dance
of up and down
and side to side
with the flow or against
we move in varying degrees
executing a series of gradations
achieving defeats and successes
we become in the motion
it certainly isn’t boring
