They try and they try but they can never bring a woman down, you’ll know there is no going back. Don’t fool yourself. They could never defeat you. They never will.
This is the woman who will always rise from the dead;

You are the woman who has burned her feet in the flames time and time again and always lives to tell another tale – even if you have had to crawl back to life.

When someone tells you, “You can’t do it,”
you say, “Watch me.”
You are fiery light birthed out of wintery darkness.

You understood early on that the monsters people dreamed of existed in human skin.
You lived all of your nightmares in high definition. You were given every reason to give up, handed every justification to never believe in herself or anyone.

Despite it all, you still conquer.
You still survive and thrive.
The “damaged” woman is capable of immense manifestation not just in spite of, but because of the traumas you have gone through.
There is no one more motivated than a woman who has constantly been told what you cannot do or who you cannot be throughout your lifetime.
There is no one more determined to succeed than someone who has nothing left to lose.

You possesses the power to use your wounds for the greater good and your own highest good.
You build your own success and becomes your own heroine;
you tend to your own scraped knees.
You use every stone thrown at you
to build the foundation for your empire.
Brick by brick you build – and despite every attempt to tear your walls down, you rescue herself again and again.

As a result, you becomes the survivor of countless witch hunts, the target of many persecutors. Yet when they try to burn you at the stake, you do what comes naturally to you:
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟!
After all, no one suspects that you, wounded woman, have more power inside of you than the bullies who attempt to overpower you, to drive you into hiding.
They laugh and ridicule the mute warrior, the one who seems to never fight back.
But here’s the thing about this type of woman: you observe.

Perhaps you’ve stayed voiceless for years. For your soul, it may seem like for centuries. This is an ancient wound, one that seems to follow you from generation to generation.
Yet at some point, it comes time for your soul to fight back in order to survive.
𝙄𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙚!
You’ve stayed silent for so long that when you finally speak, the world erupts and cracks wide open.
Your pent-up magnificent energy, born and bred in the pressure cooker called life –
i̸s̸ t̸h̸a̸t̸ o̸f̸ l̸i̸g̸h̸t̸e̸n̸i̸n̸g̸!
Where once hopelessness was your default, now abundance becomes your birthright.
Where once you were timid, you now unleashes thunder in every action and word that you wields like a sword – and with it, you always brings a storm.
Now when you create, you create new world and transform and manifest on a level that cannot be recreated by someone who never had to struggle to survive.

Yours is the voice of the hopeless and the powerless when the fire is brought back to their eyes.
Yours is the harbinger of the justice that the voiceless have longed to hear and feel and touch.
Regardless of how much you try and how it may seem, no one can never truly bring a survivor like you to her knees; you already know the value your scars bring.
