Receiving Herself
She was scared.
Sad.
Not knowing why
She felt so bad.
Striving
In pain.
Forcing and pushing
Herself in vain.
Feelings too strong.
Pressure to be.
Rejecting emotion.
Shaming sensitivity.
She competed
With no one else
But her own
Unreachable standard
Of a ‘worthy’ sense of self.
Grasping and yearning
And pushing.
Forcing.
Grasping.
Yearning.
Pushing.
Forcing.
Life and herself
To be more and whole and fine
Her masculine, to excel.
Controlling.
Denying the flow.
Unable to
Let go.
She is us.
She is her.
The feminine starved.
The goddess hidden.
Forced.
And.
Not forgiven.
Yearning to be
Someone
That is not her.
That she never could be.
Until
That moment.
Of release.
Of feeling at ease.
Accepting all emotion.
Feeling it all flood in.
Embracing her sensitivity.
Expressing everything.
Drenched in the sensual bliss.
Allowing life to be as it is.
Receiving herself.
Claiming her art.
Discovering her soul
Her true beauty...
That melting heart.
