The Color Purple

The Color Purple

Women displaying great strength and fortitude
Taking it
And
Taking it
Believing it

Then finding their own truths
Finding out what was told to them as truths was in fact untruths
they become empowered

Betrayal…….and abuse


Taking it
Believing it
Succumbing to it
Buckling under it
Being victimized
Enslaved
Beat into submission
Imprisoned
Shackled

They live in darknesss
They live in fear
Their walls made higher, thicker, and stronger

Told they couldn’t do it on their own…
You are poor
You are skinny
You can’t cook
You are ugly

One moment in time
Everything they thought they knew
One moment in time
Everything they were ever told
Everything within them
Being suddenly cast into the light of truth

In truth they find their strength
Today the truth is their light

Today they stand with their head held high
Today they stand together firm, strong, confident

We are WOMAN….We are strong...and we do this journey together
