Cornered

She cowers in the corner
Arms wrapped around her head
to shield her from the vicious words

A frightened child who grew up
knowing only shame,and hate, and anger
Wounded constantly by those she loved
Untill at last she learned to hide,
her thoughts, her feelings, her very self.
So long ago now, but still present

For somewher deep inside
she still believes the words they said
Stupid, ugly, clumsy, worthless.
Branded a failure Time after time.
Somehow she learned to love, and trust
But not to love herself no matter how she tries

Her spirit is still cornered.
Held prisoner by memories she can't let go
Trapped by the parents she still holds inside.

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Sweet Release

Harsh, whip lashes,
sting biting deep,
Forced pleasure.

Sweet tortuous pain,
Exquisite agony,
Opened world.

Helplessly restrained,
Nerves jangle,
Soul flies.

Body straining,
Breath laboured
Fully alive.
