Walking into Womanhood

walking into womanhood.

releasing the voice inside of what i should be,

and feeding the voice of what i could be.

the woman inside who’s full of curiosity

who gives herself with love and generosity

she wants to be free,

remove the blindfold and see.

the undeniable truth.

simplicity.

synchronicity.

the perfection of a moment

that rips off the blindfold

reminds me that the story is still being told

being written right now.

i need not know how,

or when, or why.

i need not even try

to comprehend

or know how it will end.

I know that i am becoming,

barefoot on the ground running

guided by the compass within

jump in the sea and swim with the dolphins

never thought i’d be here

turquoise waters so clear.

this moment is enough,

i’ve unlocked my handcuff

and opened the door

only to find so much more exists outside

of this cage where i reside.

a world that has shown me,

i needn’t be soft spoken

for i am not broken.

I am not empty,

but full of life.

to give and to grow

to learn and to know

from girl to woman,

princess to queen

shaking out the shadows

and creating the dream.
