I've walked through the valley of trauma's shadow, Surviving the storms that sought to lay me low. But no more will I cower, no more will I chase, For I'm reclaiming my territory, my sacred space.
Too long I've been shackled by the chains of the past, Bound by the echoes of pain that wouldn't last. But today, I break free, I shed that heavy cloak, Emerging from the ashes, a phoenix's stroke.
No looking back, no dwelling in strife, For I've tasted the nectar of a thriving life. Unapologetic in my quest for joy's embrace, I'm reclaiming my time, leaving no crumb to trace.
Like Auntie Maxine, I'm taking up space, Refusing to dim my light or hide my face. If it doesn't fulfill me, if it doesn't feed my soul, I'll let it go, for I'm fully whole.
No chasing mirages, no settling for less, I'm writing my own story, a life I'll truly bless. Trauma may have shaped me, but it doesn't define, For I'm a survivor, a warrior divine.
So watch me rise, watch me soar, Reclaiming the territory that's mine, and more. Unapologetic in my pursuit of bliss,
This is my time, and
nothing will I miss.
