Coloring Outside The Box

When I’m trying to be

Everything that you need

then I lose sight of me

and the lines blur

*

When the colors from me

aren’t what you want to see

And I change them for you

I go crazy

*

I want to become

feel at home in my skin

Forsake all that I know

And begin again

*

I don’t want to be fake,

afraid or carefully kept

to wonder what you want or need

*

I’m ready to throw open the doors scream my name in the air, take what I want- and break myself free

*

Listen, You’ll hear me-

*

I’m screaming red, convincing myself that I’m bold and I’m strong a mighty warrior, survivor of war

❤️

I’m fighting gray, no more hiding in the shadows, and honestly I don’t know what have I been waiting for

🤍

I’m crying out black and blue, all I know, all I knew, what I’ve had to do to find my voice and sing

🖤💙

Clinging to yellow and green the colors I know will bring comfort and complete healing to me

💛💚

I’m surrendering to pink, letting go and healing my hurts revealing wounds that I exposed myself to

💗

Im claiming purple, a color palette reserved for the royal and I announcing that I am a queen

💜

Renewing a partnership with courageous orange, building my confidence and assured strength that I’m gonna win

🧡

I’ll keep the rainbow in my pocket as a reminder to all —that I will never be neutral again.

🌈

I’m proud of myself, in-spite of the scars that I wear, as a symbol of what I have been through. That in both good and bad, shaped and molded me into the woman who stands here before you

*

Im breaking and changing with passion the patterns I followed, that were handed down to me, from my mother who struggled and lived with it too, as a lifestyle I wasn’t planning

*

Not just for me, but for my girls too, shaping themselves to fit into a world that’s absolutely not fit for them.

*

Im not sorry, I won’t ever be sorry again

*

So, check out the colors I am displaying right now. The battles I won to claim them is finally making me proud

☺️

I will not hang my head, won’t beg you to agree

I don’t need permission to become all I’m meant to be

🥰

This woman right here, she is here to stay. no one has the power to take that away. I took that back.

I am a woman of many colors and I’m proud
