Reflections of a Queen

INNATE MIRROR

Queen, for too long you have viewed yourself through the social mirror, measuring your outputs on baselines set by the universe, not that the universe is entirely to be blamed as this disposition has been a function of your decisions and not your condition.

Queen, you have been battered and bruised from preconditions and built in paradigms. You have put yourself under pressure where there has been no pressure at all. You have seen scars where there have been none, scrubbed where there was no dirt and repaired where there was never any damage.

You have longed for things your soul never desired, set pinnacles your inner sense could not relate to, ran a race which was never marked for you and entangled yourself in judgement which was never true. Truth is, for too long you have tried to fit in where there was never any space for you.

Queen, it is time to shatter this deceitful mirror which has given an obscured view for far too long. It is time to take the shards and build an innate mirror. One which speaks to your true self, one which reflects your subtle beauty and sophisticated strength. One which gives view of predestined destinies coming to fruition.

Queen, it is time to see the lioness in you. To cease the moment and say I am who I am, I am strong, bold and beautiful. I am wonderfully and fearfully made. I am worth more than rubies, I am that Proverbs woman and more. I am not a trend but a legacy, I am not my feelings nor moods but an empress in touch with her inner soul and identity.
