She Feels Resistance
Pulling her back
Into herself
Withdrawing
Overcome
Introverted
Scared beyond imagination
Horror filled resistance
Petrified
Crippling Overwhelm
But she has worked too hard to give up now
She must use all of her strength
She must find all of her courage
She must find a way to get through
To share all of herself
Flaws, vices, imperfection
It is all a part of her
She must not be ashamed
She must fight her demons
She must claw back her confidence
Pushing through the fear
Throwing off the shackles that have held her tight
Escaping the chains she herself has locked in place
She alone has the key to acceptance
She alone has the key to freedom
She alone has the ability to live her life
As she desires
In all of her dreams
To exceed all of her expectations
Sometimes the path is lonely
Sometimes she is laughed at for her vision
Sometimes she is looking in the mirror of adversity
Causing even more pain which reinforces her incarceration
But there is a resistance for a reason
To keep her safe
To keep her comfortable
To keep her from the greatness and beauty that can be accomplished
She must fight her own resistance
She must fight the resistance of others
She must fight the demons raging a war in her mind
Paralyzing her into playing small
For she is A Woman On Purpose
She has a mission to live her life fully
Opening the doors to freedom
Within herself
Giving freedom to others
To live life
To live exceptionally
To live greatly
To live with great abandon
Abundantly
Throw resistance to the wind
Roar the resistance to the wild
Dance with resistance to the melody
Be brave
Be bold
Be bodacious
Give yourself permission
To try
To give it a go
To make mistakes
To make a difference
To lead the way
To teach the love
To share your gifts
With the world
