I am tired of apologizing for my power,and dumbing myself down.
I have had it with pretending I am less than I am
and I won’t become smaller just to make you feel bigger.
I am loud and ample and can string together words
that comfort, cajole, crush, or empower…
depending on the situation.
I can make the dirt bloom forth in a glorious spectacle and
stare unblinking into the eyes around a conference room table
…even as I solve the day to day problems of my own world
and make dinner for my family,
barefoot.
