Goddess

after this bath

i will feel lighter, i will feel clear

i’ll let it all out right now

& i won’t take u with me through the rest of my year

no, this ends here

because i say so

& i always have the final say

see, this is my life

my beauty, my mind

i cannot risk where i am going

i have too many beautiful things to do

this life maravillosa is mine

& i must go live it

so, as i sit in this bath

full of bubbles, sippin’ my bubbly

i contemplate, i recreate

i envision what i will embody

i release old stories & played-out narratives

of the sad princess in her castle

awaiting her rescue

only accompanied by the bitter memories

a complex of a broken heart

i arise highly & put away that ending

for i am the writer of my story

& the healer of my soul

no longer helpless

i fight my demons, brave & unashamed

…

my eyes swell with tears

holding my rose quartz in one hand

my glass of wine in the other

i gaze at the lights dancing on top of these candles

lit with pure love & intention

remembering what i etched in them moments before

dropping love & protection oils in the water

knowing full well the magical properties they contain

how i will write my story, i ascertain

i play old songs that remind me of love lost

wondering why i added them in the playlist

but knowing they help evoke the emotions lingering deep

maybe this will draw it out once & for all

& i’ll never have to feel this again

so, i let it all go right here

letting the warmth of the water soothe my nerves

this is the moment everything changes

where i leave those harrowing recollections go forever

i regain my strength, i reclaim my power

but allow myself to forever be soft & bask in my feminine energy

i will never ever let this go
