Slain Gall

Stop!

I command you

Let me go

You can bind me no more

From this day forward

I declare Freedom

Never again

Will your chains chafe me

Soar

Yes, that I will.

Watch me fly

I rise, a Woman

Strong

You must not have known

What you were stomping to the ground

That expression says it all

Haha

What gall

To think

You could hold me down

Shatter my Will

No

You could not have known

I am telling you

Gone is the day of broken

Will

Has conjured the pieces of me

scattered

I am not

I am

Whole

I

Hold

My

Own

My own roots

I water

The good Lord is my sun

With Him I spring forth

Full bloom

Triumphant

Sturdy stalk

Blushing

Golden

Petals

Tan face forever turning towards the Son

Every morning shedding dewy tears

That kiss the ground from which I sprung

Thankful to the Son

For bathing me in the rays of His love

trampled

I am not

I stand

Tall
