These words are for me. The words that were the antidote to the misery life had subjected to me. The words that were the rope I needed to escape the dark and dreadful black hole I was enclosed in once upon a time ago. These words are my liberty.
People and Circumstances put me in that predicament.
Someone broke my heart, someone disappointed me, someone abandoned me, someone failed to show up. People. Pfft.
Something happened, something catastrophic. Illness burdened me. Death came knocking at my door. Tragedy struck not once but multiple times, striking me over and over to ensure my demise. Circumstances. Pfft.
Yeah. People and Circumstances came to burn me alive.
But they didn't succeed.
They failed at their intention to finish me. I took their hits, felt the pain ache in my bones, felt the burns as they scarred my skin, I even saw them douse the gasoline on my soul. I watched my former self and all of her vitality get smothered in the flames.
Yet, they didn't finish me.
They just killed the old me and all of her defects. Gone was the naivety and impressionability. Gone was the codependency and attachments. Gone was the victimhood and feebleness.
No, they didn't finish me.
They just conveniently got rid of what I needed to part with anyway, and for that, I expressed gratitude upon my resurrection. After the flames die out, I rose from the ashes and looked directly into the perpetrators' surprised eyes. I did not hesitate and I spoke with conviction, as the first words to leave my mouth were 'thank you'.
Thank you for the slaughter, thank you for the pain and most of all, thank you for the reminder of what no longer is, and what remains.
I am no longer weak. I am no longer at the beck and call of desolation. Instead, what remains is an impermeable shield that is my aura. I am not susceptible to any harm for I have survived the worst of life and still found myself standing tall. I am an unyielding force of reckoning and with every step I take from this day forward, I will no longer tremble in fear. My resilience is unmatched for, unseen by heroes of the past. I am what legends are made of. I am a strong woman, I am a Leo, a strong and powerful lioness.
I am here to roar!
