Who I Am Meant To Be

I fear that I do not dive deep enough into myself.

Deep enough into my desires,

my wants nor my needs.

I float on the surface of all that could be for me.

I do not dedicate enough time to,

becoming the woman I am meant to be.

I am trapped in the cycle of capitalism fighting for a way out

far away from all of the greed.

I lift my sword to the patriarchy,

my words slice you thin.

I find myself working and working and working just so I can

somehow be free.

I dream of floating on this rock called earth simply existing,

only being who I am meant to be.

Creating, sharing and thriving,

all purposefully you see.

I long to dive into the deep waters however,

I always have to come back for all of these worldly responsibilities.

I have a lot of questions but the one I need answered most importantly is,

What does it truly cost to be free?
