You know
Exactly who you are
And make
No apologies.
You have a
Streak of rebellion
In you
That will not
Be boxed in.
You are
Grounded,
Rooted, and
Independent.
You won’t
be told
Who you are.
You are not
Easily intimidated
But instead
Stand sure
In your own strength.
And you make
A safe space,
A haven
For a caged bird
To find her voice,
Her thoughts,
Her beliefs,
A strength of her own.
It loves her well.
It sees her fully.
It gives room
For her to see herself
And is a both
A flight deck
And a landing strip
From which
She will take flight
And always
Return home.
