just the taste of our history on my mind
makes me feel more free in time.

more of a woman, more of a warrior
more of a long lost lover, freeing my mind
freeing my soul.

from every way I ever felt unsure,
I ever felt I wasn’t enough for another person –
I have become more than the whispers of my anxiety,
of my unwanted insecurities

I have become such a loving one,
such a loving human.

fading stars in galaxies, I am the imagery of my own beliefs
so I choose to believe that I am beautiful, more beautiful than you see me to be
more beautiful than what the eyes can tell.
I have stories, I have life
I have pain, I have might
and I will not strike for your point of view,
for your opinions or the options you seduce me with,
I will choose…

I will choose.
