The warrior woman

 

By giving your hate, lust, greed to me,

you can’t change, redefine, transform,

or undo what is essentially me.

The shower of your scorn off balances me,

That’s natural,

But I’m not a product of

what you do,

Yes, the bushfire of your lust

burns my luxuriant canopy,

But there are seeds under the ashes,--

the carriers of my legacy;

the seeded me;

the tiny container of my fundamental code.

It just takes some time

for the rains to wash away the ashes;

for the sun to kiss infant saplings,--

the little me pampered by mother nature,

And the small me will be a full me some day.

I’m inching closer to that reality

from the nightmare you’ve held me in;

from the prison of self-loath, anger, helplessness

to the beautiful grove of love and light.
