The Wild Woman
No one could have tamed the wild woman in me.
Many have tried
They fell for the free spirit, their desire to become intimate with the nature of a storm
Admired the unpredictable strength and courage to be true to her desires
The contagious joy in experience
To FEEL
But they feared her wildness, her freedom
Their fear of loss made them act in anger, condemning, manipulating, restraining, and controlling.
A need for dominance, the force of will.
They had no faith that they were enough, worthy of love.
Without the gates and cages, strings, muzzle, harness.
No one could have tamed the wild woman in me.
Except me,
I had to gain my trust.
I had to listen to my desires
I had to provide for my needs
I had to love myself unconditionally, fearlessly
In the face of possible loss, loss of those around me.
I have faith that I am enough, uncaged, wild, and free.
I am enough for those that have faith in love.
I am not here to cage or condemn the storm;
The wild woman in me
I’m here to feel and witness the power, and beauty of freedom
I tamed her by letting her free
