invisible

my beautiful sister...you choose invisibility...hide behind your bruises and tears...
rather than take that first scary step, then another, then another...to freedom...to your real self...
to that sacred divine you that was there when you first breathed this earthly air...
take the chance...step into that unfamiliar place and lay claim to what is yours by birthright...
you stay...you let him continue to beat you down...then you choose death...

i say to you...make yourself known...stop being invisible...
