We, The Witches

From the first moments of understanding
We are taught
Of our inadequacies
As humans
Our Nature is sinful
Our Desires are evil
Our Needs weakness
Our Intuition wrong
The Beings we see are not real
The Joy we find 
In the earth 
Is dirty
Our Instinctual behavior is unacceptable
We are taught of dangers
Of other humans
Of nature
Of ourselves
Taught to question 
Ourselves
But
Never authority
To conform
To disconnect
To hide our truth
We are taught
We are conditioned
And yet
Somehow
We learn
To sing
To dance
To see
To love
We learn
Interconnectedness
Beauty
We know 
Desire and fulfillment
We practice
Listening and seeing
Imagining and knowing
We open 
Doors
Sealed 
To us
By us
Now
We teach
We are the witches
We reclaim our birthright
We reclaim ourselves

  1. Rhi, I would love to hear this read aloud. Would you consider submitting it to Standing Stone and Garden Gate's bardic segment? <3
