I Rise©

There's something so magical, so empowering about coming out of the depths of dispair. While you are suffering, the pain is so tremendous, that you feel as if there will never be any daylight. And then one day, you are okay. It may be because a new guy has smiled at you, or you finally went out on a great date. Sometimes it's just the subtle feeling of knowing - knowing that you've moved on. And in that moment, whatever the reason, things look better - you feel better - food tastes better. It may not be where you are right now, but just know that it will get better. And you too shall rise....



I Rise
From the depths of my dispair
I open my windows wide
to receive the warm sunshine
my laughter floats on the air
like a gentle breeze
I Rise
From the ashes of discontent
there are no more dark clouds
no more self drama
I've shed my last tears
I am washed; Made whole and complete
I Rise
A black queen
strong and determined
regal, beautiful
I embrace all of who I am
rejoice in my splendor and glory
I Rise
This is a brand new day
there's always a beautiful rainbow
after a storm
and now that my storm has passed
I can see my glorious rainbow
And I Rise
Happy, healthy and strong
And I Rise
Joyful, ready for the world
And I Rise
A complete woman
Ready for a complete man
I Rise
I Rise
I Rise
