Are you being all of you?

Are you being all of you?
All the shadows
All the magnificence
All the creativity
All the longing
Expressed?

There’s a fire
waiting to be rekindled
nestled in your belly
There’s a strength
longing to be tapped into
flowing through your blood
There’s an energy
asking to be honoured
in your heart,
your bones.

There were times
I was less of myself
for someone else’s
comfort.

Perhaps also
my own comfort.

It took time,
courage,
healing,
to embrace all of me.

I am never
too much person,
too much woman,
too much fire,
for anyone.
I may just
not be for you.
