When I See You, Can You Hear Me?

I hear your voice.
I heard it yesterday.
I hear it today.

It will most likely follow me into tomorrow.
Your masculinity trying to overpower me.

Are you aware?

It sounds like…
Loud
Aggressive
Egoistic
Destructive
Chaotic
Lost

You are not the only voice.
Move aside and make presence for another.

I have something to say.
My voice is pulsating with rhythm.
Sounds of harmony and truth.
Strong like a newborn’s heartbeat coming out of the womb.
The voice of Femininity.
Creator of Life.
Mother to this Earth.

Held captive in silence, no longer.

I will not quiet you, Masculinity.
Dare you stand beside me?

You and I
Holding
Embracing

Together,
Together,
Together,

Listen to my Femininity.
Strong and forceful like the waves of the ocean.
Wash yourself with me.
A new beginning.

This is the voice of
Freedom.
