Witch

I am a witch.

I was born a witch.

I live as a witch.

I will die a witch.

Of course, magic is not called witchcraft anymore. Now I am called a scientist and my cauldron is my bunsen burner.

I experiment, I test, I trial, I spell.

I am a doctor and a healer and an engineer. I make things and I unmake things.

I am strong.

I am powerful.

They try to tell me that I am less. That I cannot make and test and create. That I am a girl, a woman, a child.

That I am less.

No.

I am more than they will ever see.

I am more than they can ever understand

I have survived.

I hear not their rules.

I hear not their reasons.

I see the past.

I see the future.

They cannot stop me.

They cannot stop what I will become.

I am here in spite of their will and those that come after me will be more than what I ever was.

They think in terms of win or loss, yet I am here to tell you that I AM.

You cannot stop me.

You cannot break me.

You cannot end me.

I am a witch.

I am life itself.

I am a force that cannot be matched and cannot be stopped.

…Fear me.
