Choosing My Light

This poem came through me during a writing exercise in my current Heroine’s Journey Class I am taking with Amy Henderson. The exercise was to connect with our Inner Girl/Teenager/Child. This feels as if she were waiting to speak and it was channeled, unedited in the few minutes we were given to write before sharing. I’m pretty sure I connected Fully!

CHOOSING MY LIGHT

The Word is NO!
 Can you Hear Me?
 Is It Too Loud?
 Well, Let Me Say it Clearly
 
 NO More Captivity
 NO More Your Way
 I Have a Journey
 And, It Starts Today!
 
 Call Me REBEL
 Call Me FOOL
 Call me ANGRY
 No More Your Rules
 
 Your Rules Don’t Fit
 This Heart of Mine
 I Have a Path
 And, It is Going to Be Fine
 
 Let me Be, Let Me Be Free
 Stop Holding Me
 Down, Down, Down
 Til I’m Empty.
 
 It Isn’t Your Life
 Stop Trying to Live Mine
 Don’t Tell Me Who to Be
 Or, Who I Can See
 
 I Choose My Light
 All By Myself
 I See My Path
 YOU .. Get the Hell Out!

What Makes You Think
 You Know My Way
 What Makes You Think
 I Have NO SAY.
 
 If I’d Had the Words Then
 They Would’ve been FUCK YOU,
 But Instead I just Turned
 and, Waved Goodbye, You Fool.
 
 I Am Not Yours to Possess and Control
 Only to Encourage and Guide, Not Rule.
 As Bon Jovi says ‘It’s My Life to Live While I’m Alive’
 So Get Out of My Way, I will Survive!
 
 I Will Not Be Domesticated
 I Will Be ME.
 Day and Night!
 I’m Choosing My Light.
