to all the women who struggle to get out of bed in the morning
Our lives are immeasurable
we live them moment by moment
both small and large
and everything in between
We once stood as Goddesses
and feared nothing
we burned as brightly as super novas
and thought our reign would last forever
Now we mind our shadows
learn how to hide in the daylight
breathe in the darkness
and call it home
We look back
and remember were Goddesses
like it was a dream and not a fact
etched into the fabric of reality
Our lives are immeasurable
we live them moment by moment
both small and large
and everything in between
We are more than the sum
of our usefulness
more than cogs in the machines
of our lives
We are bigger than they let us believe
when our light is stripped bare
and there to be harvested
a feast for the demons on the edge of the dark
We once stood as Goddesses
and feared nothing
we burned as brightly as super novas
and thought our reign would last forever
We learned instead that life is hard
and that nothing lasts forever
we learned to embrace our fall
and know that we are worth more
We burned brightly once
and one day we will again
