strong woman.

I may be soft but don't be fooled

I am a fighter

Strong

Powerful

Woman

Submerse your bones in vulnerability

Feel the softness running through my veins

Touch the essence of the strength that flows through me

Consume my sweet nectre

Drown in it

The honey that drips from my lips

Sweet and gentle

The vines that have emerged from my wounds

Strong and deeply rooted

I rose so high you couldn't reach me

Your claws ripped from my spine

I layed in the sand as the ocean carried me home

Each wave stroking my skin

Kissing my bare flesh

Whispering secrets about myself I didn't even know

This gentle embrace quickly turned

Waves crashed on my body

My head falling deeper under water

Grasping onto each breath 

So far down in the darkness

I learned to breathe in the water

I am a fighter

Strong

Powerful

Woman

Honour powerful women with backbones

And embrace powerful men with good hearts

Learn to see what hurts you more than it heals you

Because I am soft, but don't mistake that for weak

I am vulnerable, and that makes me so fucking strong.
