hallelujia.
my family is safe.
my mind is free.
my heart, alone,
is mine to give.
i found out who
was hiding behind
the big green curtain
in the wizard of oz.
the circus performer
and his little army of trolls
no longer fool me.
i’ve got my eye on the devil now.
i know his tricks,
and i will not fall prey.
for i am the huntress now
the one who calls the shots.
a hot woman
who finally
knows her worth.
so what are you going to do about it?
you can’t shut me up.
not now.
i’ve come too far.
i’ve seen too much.
i’ve bled like a lamb on the altar,
and it’s high time
i said no more.
to the tomfoolery,
to the lies,
to the games you played
thinking you could pull
the wool over my eye.
but instead,
i pulled my own sorry self
right off the floor
and i’m here to stay.
you never had
any power
anyway.
thank you for being here, it truly means the world. i love hearing your thoughts, if you feel called to comment.
i am a writer, speaker, and musician devoted to healing and embodiment. i share essays, poetry, and original music through venus consciousness. i’d love to walk this path with you. 💞
This hits like a woman reclaiming her name after years of being misread. I know that moment when the curtain rips and the so-called devil shrinks into a small, trembling man.
Your poem carries the heat of someone who rose from the floor and refused to bow again. That kind of knowing can’t be taken back. This was powerful.
Sounds like you hit a huge turning point in your life! I am celebrating that little victorious hallelujah - good for you!!
