Rise Up from the Ashes

“Rise Up from the Ashes”

by Nicole Costa

I do not need 

Your love 

To validate me 

I choose it

Willingly 

I AM

Love 

And

I come 

In peace 

I do not need 

To tear you down 

To build myself up 

The Divine 

Has showed me 

How to fill 

My own cup 

You cannot take 

What is mine 

Though you’ve tried 

Many times 

If you can 

It was not

Meant for me 

Let go of

Expectations

Release insecurity 

No more 

Playing small  

Familiarize 

This face 

No more 

Hierarchy 

Learn to 

Hold space 

Exist as one 

We are all 

Part of 

The same 

Human race 

My Brothers 

My Sisters 

You cannot 

Be displaced 

Your time is now

So do not let

Your precious energy 

Go to waste 

Forgive 

And

Let go 

Let love 

Replace 

Next Level 

Ascension 

Step into 

Your place 

Speak from 

Your truth 

An open 

Heart space 

Return home 

To self 

Embody 

Your grace 

Like the 

Fireweed plant 

Rise Up

From the ashes

Transmute 

Pain 

Into purpose 

And

Anger 

Into passion
