The Unveiling

A Poem to Celebrate International Women’s Day

Split yourself open.

Dig into the deepness and dance with the devil, if you have to.

Show the monster inside you you mean business and you won’t back down. You won’t break, even though every bone has been fractured.

Breathe, scream, cry, and repeat.

Until you feel absolutely complete.

Get gutted.

Feel vulnerable.

Run with the wild child society told you to suppress.

Find your voice. Raise your head. Look into the eyes of the one who wants you to fall instead.

No more sugar and spice and everything nice.

You’re not made of a simple recipe specifically curated for those you can’t handle the spice.

You’re raw. You’re beautiful. You’re beyond control.

Peel the layers that are weighing you down and rise, rise, rise once again.
