Scorpio
I can be a leader.
I do not need to follow the actions and behaviors of others.
What harm?
Oh, but what gain?
I am fierce
With a lot to say,
A lot of love
And a lot of passion.
Simple pleasures
And little disappointments.
Just be who I want to be,
Not what others see;
What others want me to be.
I am more than a perception.
I am loud and proud,
Bold and fearless.
I have a courage
And strength that is limitless.
I am learning to vocalize my boundaries;
Free from guilt and shame.
There is an ocean inside me that you cannot tame.
My waters run deep
You merely tread the surface.
I know who I am
And I will take up space.
Breathless and discouraged,
I will still run the race.
Dip your feet in the edge of my waters
And let me wash over you.
Familiarize yourself with the polarity
Of my sensations.
I will not let you down.
I will not let you drown
If you meet me without malice.
Dare.
Do.
