The unspoken truth was that
SHE was destined to despair from the moment she took her first breath
Desperation Dismissed,
Intelligence Ignored,
Pain put down,
Betrayal blown off,
Grief gone un-comforted to the depths of despair at the deepest deep to the cores of all Hells that can be Known and Felt...
Until
SHE rises
Until
SHE emerges
Until
SHE releases the Hells of the cruelty, ALL of the cruelty she has seen, felt, known, shared, believed,
AND NOW RELEASES
with
The Soul Scream that only those who know can hear, see, feel...
many soul screams...deep, guttural, earth shaking, humanity awakening Soul Screams
To Release it ALL
An emptiness grows larger with every gut wrenching scream and the sobbing that does not sound or feel human
because it is not human
It is the anguish of the Soul in preparation for the transformation...
The making of the diamond from the molten and compressed coal, the rising of The Phoenix from the ashes of the fiercest fire,
The
Emergence of HER in all of HER truest Truths
as she claims HER ultimate Power
that only SHE can claim...
only SHE can know...
only SHE can own...
ONLY SHE CAN SHARE
SHE comes forward
REBORN anew
and
with her
SHE brings a spirit of
Hope, Truth, Empathy, Compassion, Forgiveness, and LOVE for ALL
SHE is the diamond from the rough
the Phoenix arisen
the Sha(WO)man
SHE has CHOSEN to take her first breath...again...NOW

Wow
I was taken in fully.
My gut was twisting , my shoulders shrinking to make me feel smaller, remembering all those experiences of denial.

I am blown away.
