I am my own Mistress
Never to be ruled by
Or another's to have
I guide myself with a stern hand
But also with a loving Heart
Knowing that compassion is the way to live
My eyes are hard from years of hardships
My skin is cracked and broken in places
But my Heart and Spirit are still whole to this day
Knowing my own Limitations
Yet pushing myself past them
To become the stronger person
Treating others with respect and compassion
As I would also wish to be treated
For that is the way to Ones Heart
Yet I am my own Mistress
No one else's ever
And never to be ruled over
For I am My Own Mistress
