Women – Amberley Charlotte Writes

She is Woman!

Spellbinding
Commanding

Constant movement
Blurred lies

Rolling thunder
Threatening storm
A tornado touches down

Although defiant
corruption won’t win
darkness won’t last

The ocean cries
A call to action
The courage to soar

She rages
She roars

With the strength of 1000 angels
Lightning strikes
The waves rise up
The universe wails

It’s time
to protect
the children!

She is resilient
She is powerful
She is brave

Out of the darkness
a rainbow will come

She is
the warrior in the battle

She is
the calm in the storm

She is Woman!

Tears of a Rose

Published on July 12, 2022July 13, 2022 by Amberley Charlotte WritesLeave a comment

A Rose

Vibrant
Fragrant
Sensual

Love blooms

Poetic
Enchanting
Magical

Tears of the rose
as petals fall
to the ground

Leaving the stem
bare
naked
natural

Still a Rose

Always beautiful
in all forms

The Shadow

Published on July 11, 2022 by Amberley Charlotte WritesLeave a comment

The Shadow 
     follows me
            but it’s not mine

I run 

   It grabs me
and
  sits on my chest


I can’t 
    breathe!
       
You’re 
    strangling 
             me!

I’m so 
    terrified 
I will turn into you!

I’m not living
           my life!

Enough!

    With this pen
I will 
   fulfill my destiny!


I will 
  accomplish 
       EVERYTHING
you said 
    I wouldn’t!


You’re not 
       holding me back
                    anymore!

Neither 
am 
I!

Just another mountain to climb

Just another mountain to climb

Fractured
        Broken
             Shattered

This isn’t how my story ends

Battling
        back

Fierce
     Determined

Feet on the ground
Eyes up!

Three steps forward
              life pulls you back
                               
Break away!

Focus forward
            keep walking!

The door is shut
you don’t live there anymore

I’ve got one
         life to live
                  
and I will live it
                as
                 I
                 choose!

A rebel with a
             very good reason!
                            
A warrior 
        on a mission!

You’re just another 
                mountain to climb

Sorry bitches!
You may pull me back
but you will never
keep me down!

I will rise!

Knock me down
I will rise up

Lock me up
I will escape

Force me into submission
I will gain
strength

You can’t break
A Mother fighting
for her children

You can’t silence
A woman with
a broken heart

You can’t stop
Me!

I will find hope
in the evil
of your eyes

I will find light
in the darkness
of your heart

I will find strength
in your threats

You fuel my fire
You feed my determination
You solidify my resolve

The sun will rise again
and when it does
the world will see

My strength
and your insecurities

My courage
and your cowardice

My compassion
and your hatred

Because in the end

No matter
how hard you try

You will
NEVER
break me!

You will
NEVER
hurt me
AGAIN!

And I will
NEVER
be like
YOU!

No!
