Listen to her
That voice in your head, she is your fiercest protector
Listen to her
She sees your pain, feels the cracks in your heart
She holds your face in her hands, in gentle earnest
Listen to her
She wipes the blood from your eyes, the tears from your soul
She pulls every thread until you are untangled, whole
She kisses the sun into your forehead until you feel warm
Listen to her
She fills you with love, and rage, and kindness, and strength
Until you are complete
Until your bones are steel, though sometimes frail
Until your heart can bend, but no longer break
Listen to her
She may not always know what to do
But she is your warrior
She will fight back when you are stabbed
She will heal when you are broken
And she will grow wings every time the world throws you off a cliff
Listen.
