Take my hand
let me help you
I know your pain
I know that voice
the one that says
worthless
stupid
incompetent.
It is false.
It is vile.
It needs to be destroyed.
Insipid fool
hissed in your ear
demon on your shoulder
notion
half glimpsed
turn head
nothing there
grey gloom
surrounding.
Bleak
sun hidden
black fears
reaching out
anguished.
When does this end?
When does the beast die?
Take the hand I offer little one
wrapped in my arms
protection
Warrior Queen I be.
I will pierce the darkness.
I will be your shield.
I will be your sword.
I will be your champion
slaying demons
reminding you of your worth.

Thank you. I was talking with a friend who was feeling down and I realized that I can be that sheltering embrace in the storm. And from that this grew. 🤓💜
