Taking My Power Back

The only thing that deserves my energy is growing and progressing

Taking My Power Back

I am not trapped.

I am transitioning.

If I said I was trapped,

That would mean giving too much power and authority

To the powers that be.

Truth be told,

They dont control me.

Truth be told,

The walls I once saw before,

Have fallen.

THEY DO NOT CONTROL ME.

Im taking my power back.

My life is my own,

And nothing and no one can stop me.

Soon they will realize how powerful I really am

Soon they will realize how capable I really am.

I will show them.

I will show them all.

Then they will see that they were wrong.

They will see that I am not weak and defensless,

But I am fortified force of fury and love to be reckoned with.

My Empire is that of faith, hope, and love.

Anxiety uset to reign here.

Fear used to reign here.

Doubt used to reign here.

But,

No more.

Now, those tyrannic monsters sit on the oustkirts of my empire

Because there is just no room for them anymore.

Do they creep in every once in a while?

They try, and sometimes,

They even succeed.

But my domain has become so strongly rooted in strength,

That those things no longer stand a chance.

If I were fear, doubt, or anxiety,

Knowing that the strength and power of my domain

Were nourished by faith, hope, and love,

I would just run and hide.

So come now, fear, doubt, and anxiety,

Come you wretched weak creatures…..

Come, let’s dance.

Oh, don’t worry,

I don’t bite.

But my soldiers on the other hand,

Well they pack a punch.

So come on, mess with my empire,

I DARE YOU!

Come to think of it,

If Carl Jung were here,

He would suggest inviting you to dinner.

So come to dinner little ones.

Come, let’s eat,

My lovely chef says you’re in for a treat.

Tonight’s dish,

Filet mignon with a side of confidence ala carte.

For dessert, self love and self worth.

Nervous?

Oh don’t be nervous!

Fear, doubt, and anxiety,

Look at me, my lovelies.

The only reason you would have to be nervous

Well,

Is if you even thought about rising up to me again.

So, go ahead, eat,

But be careful not to consume confidence too fast

Or you’ll choke my dears.

I suppose Carl Jung was really onto something,

But make no mistake,

Shadows,

Even if you choose to dwell in my kingdom,

Your impudence and insolence will not be allowed.

You will move when I tell you to move,

Stand when I tell you to stand ,

Jump when I say jump ,

And YOU WILL NEVER ,

EVER ,

Destroy my Empire,

Ever again.

Once you have finished your meal,

Go back to where you came from.

Or maybe linger for a while longer.

Either way, it doesn’t matter.

Just remember who’s in power here.

Just remember the battles we won together,

But how you betrayed me in the process.

Because I will always remember the sorrow

And darkness that has continuously attempted to devour me.

But,

No more.

No more of this rubbish.

My empire is ever expanding

And I have no time for hasty decisions made with the help from the likes of either of you.

For I continue to ascend

I continue to grow in grace and beauty

And you, my pretty pretty shadows,

Will continue to remember who I am.

This is my domain,

My life,

My path.

And NO ONE will tell me differently.

I carry a fire and a passion that is beyond comprehension.

And that is the lifeblood of my economy.

Yours,

Empress Fierce .
