I’ve seen glimpses of myself
And to me comes the staggering truth
that I myself am Staggering
So Much
Am I
So Full
I am
As a queen in flowing garments
in heels I tower over crowds
My countenance is Bright
My face though Humble, covers a Bold spirit with bold opinions and strong Belief
I’m strong and Gentle
but the heart within me still fears
still thinks it sits within a small chest
next to small arms
But no
The truth is I am Large
Large enough to Rule my world
And take my throne among the Greats
Everyone who accepts their Crown
draws me Come and Reign

I looked in the mirror
massaging my face with brightening oils
I noticed an old pimple scar as I smiled
purple spot under my mouth
almost deep enough to be a pinprick dimple
Cute, really
somehow that little dot of beauty
became to me an epiphany
And I realized
that the way I’ve always waited
is more than a scar, than a beauty mark
more than inspiration
for bleeding art
It’s an important part
it takes a key place in my preparation
for life and what’s meant for me
