She walked back in
into the Lions Den
an undeniable fierceness
raging within
She had awakened
a beast so savagely wild
but it was no surprise
to the memory of this child
Though it’s presence was felt
fear was not her concern
She had tamed that beast
every scar they had earned
She took one step forward
it was two steps back
a bold move to bait the devil
anticipating the attack
She led with courage
dropping the armour of her past
the potential risk to survival
would be her greatest conquest
Finally, there was no epic battle
this time, no need to run
One step back in to the lions den
the war had already been won
Bullies have no power
when you realize your worth
so feed your self compassion
and commit to loving yourself first
10/12/18. Bullies have many faces. Sadly the one who did the most damage was the one who gave birth to me. But alas there is hope for all of us in learning to love ourselves just a little more. <3
