There is power in the voice
The words that are spoken ever so softly
Finding meaning and purpose is conveyed through her poetry
Her mind full of chaos she just begins writing
Pages and pages start flowing, as the words just keep coming
Her art becomes a confronting and meaningful piece
Shared to others who need help finding connectedness and peace
A talent she holds close to her heart
Feeling greatful she has the ability to share life through all of her poetic art.

Here it comes sitting at the top of her throat
overwhelming pain quickly hijacks her heart and soul
Hesitant and afraid she stares blankly ahead
Hoping and praying eventually the emotion will dissipate  
Kneeling on the ground with her head in her hands
Silently crying
It’s all apart of healing her body
Focusing on connecting to her surroundings
Slowly she finds herself back in her body  
Feeling her soul let go of the pain that has been blocking her energy for so long
She finally allows the emotion to flow freely throughout her body
Igniting her senses to support her through her healing journey
Staying focused and in control
Slowly finding the inner peace her heart has been wanting her to find all along

The lion standing strong surrounded by his jungle
Completely unaware onlookers are convinced there is no weakness there
Upon walking closer they glance at the scars scattered all over his body
He looks them in the eyes, as he slightly bows his head
Connection is established from the close eye contact
Becoming aware the lion has fought  to be standing there
A pillar of strength is what is is known to be  
Wounded but strong, is how he has been standing all along

Begging for air terrified it was her very last breath
You leant against the door blocking her from running to escape from your control
Your hand so tightly cupped over her mouth no air could get in...or out
Suffocation took hold as you continued to invade her soul  
Selfishly you took what you wanted without any care
You left her numb and empty
Full of pain and suffering she would never forget
Still to this day she works tirelessly to process the trauma that you forced her to accept
You picked a good one because she is a fighter and so **** ******* strong
You took a part of her but her strength still remains deeply engraved in her soul  
Holding her on the days that she feels she can’t go on
Continuously keeping her fighting spirit strong
You left an indent in her soul but you didn’t take her whole
Like a puzzle there is a missing piece
If you look closely you can still see an absolutely breath taking image

Her writing is an expression from the soul
The words that arise give her a meaning and purpose to thrive
Lost and alone she felt confused about which direction to go
Using her writing to learn and grow
Becoming stronger in her heart and mind
Knowing deep down she was the only one to improve her future outlook on life
No longer a victim to her traumatic past
Living in the moment and embracing the beauty of life
This is the journey that makes her feel so incredibly alive

Nestled in the lush greenery
Graciously she absorbs nature’s beauty
Moments capture a content and present aura
Flowing freely throughout her body
Sensing the sun glistening over her pale skin
Feeling the breeze sweep through her hair...
Instant chills race down her spine
Reminding her she is in her body
Feeling the sensations encompass her being
Quickly she remembers to go within
Compassion running through her blood,  keeping her heart beating
Surrounded by gratitude when she realises how far she has come
One day at a time she treads lightly, tripping and failing it’s all apart of life’s journey
Remaining aware and present,  she relies on her inner strength
Guiding her along this crazy and wild journey
Always staying stay kind and true
One deep breath in she captures this moment to keep
Knowing she can visit there anytime she needs to check in to her heartbeat

The voices are screaming over one another
Each one desperately trying to be heard
Becoming louder and louder; quickly feeling as if she can’t breathe
Standing dazed and afraid, staring blankly ahead
Unable to get a word in, continuing to stay silent
Listening to the chaos overwhelming her mind
Begging for it to all stop, just so she can take a silent deep breath
Caught in an immense spiral, she feels herself losing complete control
Instantly giving into the demands just to have a moment of peace
Her task is complete as the voices fade out into the distance
Sitting in shame, tears begin to stream down her face
Realising she has fallen into this disastrous place
Greeted by the beast sitting with a pronounced smile on his face
Aiming for an escape, slowly learning this is her learning space
The pain is intense radiating through her weakened soul
As the voices become louder once again, tears pouring, she sits and feels through this incredibly vulnerable place
The internal pain buried deep within her soul, feels like a naked flame burning through her skin
Burning through every layer, travelling deeper and deeper creating a tender wound
She focuses on sending love, healing and protection to the inner wound
Gradually the healing begins
Learning day by day to give herself, love, care and affection just like she deserves
