Steel Angel
As the lock falls away from my lips,
My tongue sheds it's acid,
Becoming coated in honey.
The pressure releases and I grow strong,
Knowing that refusing to accept less than my due
Will make me the person I am meant to be.
Kind and Honest.
Resentments floating off as fast as it takes for me to voice them.
My voice comes,
quiet at first, then more confident with use.
My feet flatten from the ballerina stance I have forced myself to walk in.
Chains break,
Leaving my hands untied
No more.
I am worthy.
That's the only reason needed to spread my steel wings.
