I hold a dangerous weapon
It’s Locked inside a vault
The blood it spills out seeps into the cracks of my mind
Leaving a spoiled bitter taste in my mouth
Its essence lingering in the air
Longing to be heard
Hiding away and scared and alone
Silently and patiently waiting to destroy
Its entire purpose forgotten by those around
Be quiet
Don’t speak
Don’t utter a word
The battle has just begun
So throw the key at me and open the floodgates
It is time to let the world hear my words.
Let this power flow through me
Let me speak my truth
What a powerful thing to be a woman
With a Voice
I hope it stings you like a bee
I hope every breath I take brings you to your knees
And you’re forced to listen to my pleas
And when you rise up you see
All the beauty and love I bring to this world
