Lilith did not only require me to look into the mirror
But strip bare
Open my chest and pull apart not only my heart but my soul
It’s these moments I crave an animal like connection
I can feel the primal pulse revealed that merges my heart and soul
I can see the scars and open wounds
‘Call your power back’
Her whisper sends chills along the back of my neck
‘Your monsters, their monsters – to lessen their power you must take yours back’
It occurs to me, power is not only in becoming victorious, but in my ability to accept the defeats and how I come back.
