For those finding their way home after spiritual control, this is for you
A reminder that your voice, your instincts, and your belonging were never truly lost.

Lion - by Julie Vandekerckhove
Here’s to the misfits, the banned ones,
the shunned ones,
the black sheep and the lost sheep,
the sheep that are no longer afraid of speaking up.
Or shall I say here’s to the lion,
the found lion,
the lion that is no longer afraid to roar
Back into our body’s
And into our own minds,
No longer directed by controlling abusive leaders,
Spiritual authorities
Who love to create dependent masses ready to manipulate
And are making a judgemental God out of a loving One
To keep us fearful trembling on our knees
Unable to make up our own minds
Unable to trust our intuition, our gut feeling
Unable to use our healthy ego, so every identity and individuality gets lost
Here is to the lion that is allowing her power,
That is no longer afraid to put a clear boundary,
Until here and no further, she now roars.
The lion is no longer trying to disguise itself as a mouse out of fear her power would be shamed, belittled, or unheard.
Here’s to you lion, lioness.
May you roar into your original instinct.
The days of guilt-tripping are over.
No one will send us into the non-belonging fires of hell
Nor exclude us for our uniqueness
We are not born in sin
And we never were.
We are born in love
and we always were.
