honor yourself: her dance....

her dance....

her fingers wrapped gently around the
fabric of her dancing shoes.

as her feet slipped inside she felt the
touch against her skin and closed her eyes.

quietly, with reverence, she laced her
shoes and stood up.

lifting her hair off her shoulders,
tilting her face towards the sky...
she raised her eyes and began her dance.

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
