Waking the Wild Woman
By: Kiki Coll
I am waking
Yes, I am
I am no longer the child born
Nor the woman scorned
I am waking
Slowly finding self
Aware of my spirit
Uncloaking the façade
No longer needing to fear it
Welcoming the unknown
Wondering out loud
Trepidation set aside
Lifting this leaden cloud
No more hiding
Inviting her out
To breathe the air
Not a whisper, a shout
Not searching, but finding
Not looking, but seeing
Not hearing, but listening
A human being
Yes, I am
I am no longer the child born
Nor the woman scorned
I am waking
I am changing
For the Better
For myself
Without your help
I am waking the wild woman
Shaking off the mask
Stepping into the light
and slipping away from the past
I am waking
