“Hear Me Now” from Rise by Ilona Anne Hress
Lyrics
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I am in charge of me.
You don’t. You don’t. You don’t own me.
You don’t. You don’t. You don’t scare me.
You don’t. You don’t. You can’t bully me.
I, I am in charge of me.
I, I got the power.
I, I got the freedom.
I, I got the knowledge.
I am so smart.
I am so free.
You will hear me.
I, I got the knowledge.
I, I got the power.
I, I got the freedom.
You will hear me.
You will hear me.
You will hear me.
You will hear me.
Hear me now.

Description
Self-expression, when used effectively and appropriately, is one of the most powerful tools for personal fulfillment. Before you speak your truth, you have to understand what it is and why you feel the way you do. Then, it is important to deliver this information, in respect and with love, to your audience. It helps when those listening to you are receptive, considerate, appreciative, and intelligent. But regardless of the quality of your audience, you still need to find a way to express yourself that works. Many, if not most of us, will struggle with getting the words right, tolerating confrontation, and having the stamina to verbally, as well as emotionally and mentally, work through a challenging relationship. Problems can only be solved when the information to fix them is provided, and you have that information. Do not be afraid to share your insight, experience, and understanding. Someone, somewhere may truly need to hear what you already know. This song is a gift from the Divine Mother to empower your self-expression. It is necessary not only for your happiness, but that of our world. For every personal conflict solved on the planet, we are all one step closer to peace.
