From Shadows to Strength: A Poem Exploring The Liberation of The Silenced Woman

Here are the words that emerged after yet another journey through the shadows of chaos. In this profound exploration, I delved deep into the layers of feeling misunderstood, confronting the fierce wildness that had long been suppressed and rejected by men, scorned by women, and condemned by society. The sensual and powerful woman, demonised and silenced for ages, has been hidden and shamed. But now, she rises, reclaiming her rightful place, unapologetically embracing her strength and beauty. The time has come for her to shine, to break free from the chains of suppression and to be celebrated for the incredible force that she is. 

An Unspoken Cry

In times of vulnerability, 

Offer me your presence.

In moments of unsteadiness, 

Offer me your support.

In the process of disentangling, 

Allow me the space to unravel.

Amid the raw messiness of chaos, 

Never judge my appearance.

I don’t need your opinion, 

I simply want your trust.

In the darkest depths, 

Do not rescue or hush me.

In wild, untamed states, 

Give me room to breathe.

Do not save or help me, 

Restore my trust and faith.

Knowing I can stand on my own, 

I can fill my own cup of love.

Do not judge my instability, 

A temporary insanity.

The sobbing and grieving, 

The rage bursting to release.

The talking in tongues, 

The serpent within my flesh.

Another shedding, another layer, 

A death, a rebirth in becoming.

Disappointment after disappointment, 

Ultimate gifts in disguise.

A sledgehammer to my heart, 

To shatter the hardened walls.

I am not scary; I am sacred rage, 

An inner fire of roaring desire.

Sit in the fire and rise as the phoenix, 

Ready to penetrate the heart’s abyss.

I am also in you, the powerful chaos, 

The aspect suppressed and shamed.

Give me space to honour the process, 

To self-regulate and restore order.

Return and be present with me, 

A space of pure innocence.

Open up your heart and soul, 

Show me your raw vulnerability.

I am the wild chaos and the ordered presence,

I am you, you are me—we are one.

We came here to teach one another,

Divine reflections to mirror and grow.

To weave and alchemise, 

To catalyse and harmonise.

We are a powerful force united in love, 

We are weak when separated in hate.

See through the eyes of compassion, 

Feel through a heart of understanding.

Be the calm presence amidst the passing storm, 

As we courageously walk one another home.
