Where are you?
Where are you,
Little girl with broken wings
But full of hope?
Where are you,
Wise woman covered in wounds?
Where are you?
Today is the day
I will not sit still and
Give in anymore.
Today I rise.
I am bruised
But I will get up
And walk again.
Today I rise.
I don’t care
If you ignore
My beauty.
Today I rise.
Through the alchemy
Of my darkest nights
I heal and thrive.
Today I rise.
I move through the world
With confidence and grace.
I open my eyes
And I am ready to face
My wholeness as a woman
And my limitless capacities.
I will walk my path with audacity.
Today I rise.
I reconnect with the many aspects of myself.
I’m in awe of the reality I can create.
I am a queen.
I am a healer,
A wise woman,
A wild woman.
I will rise and be.
I am a rebel.
I will wake up and fight.
I am a mother,
And I am a child.
I will no longer disguise
My sadness and pain.
I will no longer suffer
Or complain.
I am black and I am white.
There’s no reason to hide.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I call upon Khali to kiss me alive.
I transform my anger to power.
No more heartache
Or strife.
The world is missing
What I am ready to give…
My wisdom
My sweetness
My love
And my hunger for peace.
I weep with the trees
And the rivers
And the Earth in distress.
I rise and shine
And I’m ready to go on my quest.
Today I rise without doubt or hesitation.
Today I rise without excuses or procrastination.
Today I call upon my sisters
To join a movement of
Resoluteness and concern.
Today is my call to action.
I will fulfill my mission without further distraction.
Today is the day.
Today I will start
To offer the world
The wisdom of my heart.
