I am a saint.⠀
I am a sinner.⠀
I am a queen.⠀
Powerful, like one hand open, ready to receive; the other, a clenched fist, ready to strike if necessary.⠀
I am a fighter; the end all be all.⠀
I am like a rose, beautiful and sharp when touched without permission. ⠀

I don’t pray to God anymore⠀
I pray to myself.⠀
I worship at the feet of her temple and leave offerings of nourishment and love at her altar.⠀
I move her to keep her healthy.⠀
Life creator.⠀
Human maker.⠀
I carry life in my blood. ⠀
My bones are full of magic.⠀
⠀
I am my own soulmate.⠀
Perfectly matched to live happily ever after.⠀
I am you and you are me. ⠀
I am a little bit of every woman and person I’ve come into direct contact with in the presence of my ancestors and guides.⠀
⠀
I am the future.⠀
I am the present.⠀
I am my presence.⠀
I am the answer to my ancestor’s prayers. ⠀
I am the one I prayed for to come save me.⠀
