Breaking The Barrier

Behind my colour is beauty. Behind my beauty is strength. Behind my strength is you, always trying to break me. You captivated me but I managed to fight. You thought you won but who is the real winner? My freedom you once took, but my soul was always liberated. I am no longer silenced by your apparent powers and no more will I allow you to intimidate me. While we all chase wealth, love, and freedom; to live happily and peacefully is truly the greatest prize.

I broke your shackles and rid my mind of the constant doubt I absorbed with your verbal abuse. I am good enough! I am independent! I don’t need your cylindrical power source to feel complete. The sturdy grip, protruding veins, temporarily fueled my temple. Define your self to me and maybe then I will see your true character. I am bold! I became the woman you said I couldn’t be, the woman you stopped me from becoming.

I laugh in amusement at your senseless ego; salivating at the sight of my flawed figure filled with stretch marks and artistic veins, busty curves, seductive hips contemplating your next move. I fell in love with my solitude and I rediscovered “me.”

Let’s teach little girls to be strong, determined and focused. Teach them to be whole without searching for validation. We’re capable of moving past the heartbreak, build higher walls and set standards. Let’s be the voice of courage for them. Let’s be strong women!
