Power Thieves

Response to Prompt #56 The Best Gift--Words of Wisdom

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." Alice Walker

Power thieves come in many forms.
Some obvious in their insidious natures~

fear 
guilt
   prejudice

Some seemingly innocuous on the surface,
yet our souls still drown in the depths below~
    
              
rules
 norms
    expectations

Dare to stomp the ground like an unruly toddler,
scream "NO!" at the top of your lungs.

Arm yourself against the subtle manipulations--
and the outright emotional blackmail.

For in those brave acts,
You'll find your real power.
