Queen of Hearts

There’s something inspiring

about the way she holds herself.

Every step she takes

owning it.

She’s powerful

and she’s not afraid to tell the world

they can shove it

if they have a problem with that.

She’s not going to let anyone’s words

drag her to hell.

Why?

Because it’s not where she belongs.

It never was.

To a passing stranger

she looks fearless,

but truth is

she has plenty of fear,

she’s just not letting it rule her life anymore.

She’s through with it’s lies

that kept her from being herself for years,

that muted her voice

when she desperately wished to speak up,

that made her hide in the shadows

when she was uncertain of possibilities

and what they could bring.

Her voice deserves to be heard,

It is important,

and the world needs more of what she has to say.

She has alot of love to give

through her words

not just to one person,

but to those most dear to her heart,

and those who are lost and wandering aimlessly,

she wants to help them if they’re willing.

She doesn’t want them to stay down

when they’re down,

she wants them to stand up and fight for themselves,

she wants them to fall in love with themselves,

to see themselves as something more than imperfections in a mirror

or a waste of space,

when they’re so much better than that.
