Tracing it back step by step,
Looking over my shoulder
I see the path that I have already tread
Staring down into the staircase of my mind
The blindness and the darkness that had caressed and guided me
Today I stand atop the heights
To look down with enlightenment
With sorrow
With sadness
With grief
The journey has been arduous
Painful
And the dangers that were before me …
I took hold of the hands that were held out
I called them dear to me
But they were the monsters that I couldn’t see because of my blindness and the darkness
Betrayal
Gas lighting
Lies
Deceit
Manipulation
Many who I held dear
Who held my hands to keep me blind
And to keep me hidden
Supressed
Controlled
They used words of charm and claimed their unconditional love towards me
And I gave them my love, whole heartedly and generously
But the deceit lay in their actions
The stones they threw
The arrows they shot
To deliberately trip and harm
To create loss
Fear
Conditioning
Competition
But no matter.
I have made may way upwards regardless
Guided by an inner knowing despite the obstructions
Despite the lies
The tormentors …. with their lying tongues
They warmed my heart
They gave me connection …for a short time
But they always left me in the cold
Supported my losses
And abandoned me in my success
Tearing my wins down with minimisations and cruel put downs
Discouraging my starts
Selling me lies and false encouragements
Positive toxicity and subtle messages of competition
Refusing words of affection
Threats in unguarded moments
Waiting for opportunity in my vulnerable times
Sharing smiles that held snarling teeth and menacing eyes
Wiht viscous snarling jokes…always at my expense
But it is not my right to cast blame nor judgement
I received what I believed
The Divine said “yes”, to what I believed was my worth
And he gave generously and abundantly
Despair
Less
Lack
Loss
Betrayal… yes deep betrayals
Lies
Theft
This is what I asked for and that was indeed my blessing
Yes it has been abundant.
So the Mountain is revealing me
And I feel anger
Pain
Loss
Lack
Grief
I received my lot and my worth.
So thank you darkness
Thank you Monsters
Thank you for the pain
Thank you for the betrayal
I am reeling in my own grief
Sorrow for my own error
As I look now to the Heavens for answers
They simply said “yes”.
Yes to what I believed I was worth
So now I shall sit atop of the mountain
Alone
To reset
Determine a new outcome
A new design
Discovery
Determination
A new guideline
A new book
Love
Connection
Truth
Authenticity
Courage
Confidence
Clarity
Spirituality
Friendship
Care
Nutrition
Health
Beauty
Worth
Setting the bar high this time
With care and concern for the outcome
Leaving the old and the scars
The PTSD
The trauma
I shall receive good things
Because I am learning my place
My potential
My value
My Worth
Wealth
Abundance
Pleasure
Luxury
Travel
Luck
Family
True Love
Because I will stand in my Authenticity
My power
My talents and giftings
I shall be seen
I shall be heard
Because I am a light that will shine in the darkest reaches
A phoenix and a wild thing that cannot be tamed
She is readying herself
She is coming
The dungeons and the cages have been released
Be watchful for you shall not miss her when she is revealed.
She is a light in the darkness and an army of strength
Watch for her
You will know her when she comes
