Excerpt, Me & My Shadow

I couldn’t see I was an object, a thing that they wished to control. I was the central piece in their game of chess. They knew my power that I refused to see. They leveraged my strength for their own benefit, knowing I did not understand and embrace my power and how it might serve me. When I Woke Up I learned I was the Queen, with more power and freedom than I had ever known. As the Queen we are indeed the most powerful piece in the game. In the past I simply awaited my capture by the King, but once awakened the game had changed. I finally realized the belief that I was powerless was a deception.
