Today I Rise: The Initiation Where are you? Little girl with broken wings but full of hope.... Where are you? Wise women covered in wounds ... Where are you? Today is the day I will not sit still and give in anymore Today I rise I am bruised but I will get up and walk again Today I rise I don’t care if you ignore my beauty Today I rise Through the alchemy of my darkest nights I heal and thrive Today I rise I move through the world with confidence and grace I open my eyes and I am ready to face My wholeness as a woman and my limitless capacities I will walk my path with audacity Today I rise I reconnect with the many aspects of myself I am in awe of the reality I can create I am a healer I am a queen A wise women - A wild woman I will rise and beam I am a rebel I will wake up and fight I am a mother and I am a child I will no longer disguise my sadness and pain I will no longer suffer and complain I am black and I am white There is no reason to hide Where are you ... I call upon Kali To kiss me alive I transform my anger into power No more heartache or strive The world is missing what I am ready to give My wisdom, My sweetness, My love And my hunger for peace I weep with the trees and the rivers and the earth in distress I rise and shine and I am ready to go on my quest Today I rise Without doubt or hesitation Today I rise Without excuses – Without procrastination Today I call upon my sisters to join A movement of resoluteness and ....concern Today is the day I rise and scream Today I foresee the future of my dreams! Today is my call to action … I will fulfill my mission Without further distraction. Today is the day! Today I will start To offer the world The Wisdom of my heart.
