“I was made to rise above your labels.
Because like the sun, I was always
meant to shine through the dark.”
Savages. That’s what I call them. The ones that believe they can do anything and no one can stop them. The ones that think they have power. They are the ones that cause havoc. They try to break us, just for the pleasure of knowing they can.
But we are too strong for that. We were made to rise above them. Because the sun needs a place to shine through their darkness.
Maybe that’s why, deep down, they fear us. Maybe, that’s why they want to dominate us.
Maybe, that’s why they like to put labels on us. To make them feel superior.
Let them. We know where the power really is. And they can never take it from us.
We are made of survival.

Maybe that’s why
they label us as witches.
