My Power

My power 
Used to be for the taking. 

Up for grabs
By anyone. 

I felt weak
And powerless. 

I didn’t know
That it could be different. 

I didn’t know
That it could be mine. 

My power 
Is not for the taking. 

My power 
Belongs to me. 

I am ready and willing
To take back my power. 

To claim it as mine
And mine only. 

My power is safe
With me. 

I am strong
And powerful.
