When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a WITCH.
When I stand up for those I love, they call me a WITCH.
When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts, or do things my own way, they call me a WITCH.
Being a WITCH means that I am free to be the wonderful creature that I am, with all my own intricacies, contradictions, quirks and beauty.
Being a WITCH means I won't compromise what's in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won't allow anyone to step on me.
When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak up against it, I am defined as a WITCH.
The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone's maid, or when I act a little selfish.
I am proud to be a WITCH.
It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won't become anyone else's idea of what they think I "should" be.
I am outspoken, opinionated, and determined. By God, I want what I want, and there is nothing wrong with that!
So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me.
You won't succeed and if that makes me a WITCH, so be it!
I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.
