And Sometimes She Broke Boxes
Written By Grace Atherton

She never fit inside their mold,
The way it had always been was old,
And sometimes it hurt deep to the core,
As she left behind the pain from where she was torn.
And sometimes (s)he broke boxes.
Sometimes her story went around the world,
And sometimes her story stayed at a single door,
And still other times she heard the voices around,
Speak to her to move away from the peace she found.
In the One who believed in her now,
The One who decided her story could change somehow,
That her past would not define her future,
And her scars could be turned into something beautiful.
And sometimes she broke boxes.
At her lowest, she found her highest,
At her weakest, she found her greatest strength,
At her darkest, she found the brightest light,
In her brokenness she found her healing.
And sometimes she broke boxes.
The tears could never stop her,
Her most expensive possessions,
Paled in comparison to what she had found,
And so she traded it all out.
And through this process sometimes she broke boxes.
The man-made structures,
And useless traditions,
The protocol, the confinement,
The should-haves and would-have beens,
No longer did she have to act
Completely to fit in,
No longer did she have to be passionless,
About the new things placed within.
And so sometimes she broke boxes.
Who is she, this woman stuck in time?
It’s a story about a lady in history, along with a story about me and maybe, just maybe it’s a story about you redefined.
About the times we break boxes.

Oh how I loved your poem!!! We need to not go along with the status quo, be movers and shakers and difference makers!!!
Thank you, Rita, for sharing your perspective.
I am without words to say how meaningful this post is. Could you please share the inspiration behind it?
Thanks for your feedback, Kay! I am considering doing something to go more in detail about what was behind this written piece. I might do it on facebook/here or both, but I will make sure to let you know where to see it if I do.
Unveiling inner gifts unlocks undiscovered potentials that define your path toward personal growth.
Personality study
Unique abilities are more than just skills—they are tools for fulfilling your divine mission. Recognizing these abilities starts with knowing their importance in your journey and how they help others.
Each unique ability has a distinct function. For instance, the gift of teaching enables others to develop and advance, while the gift of comfort provides peace and balance. Recognizing these gifts in you gives insight about your function in the community.
Discovering your spiritual gifts commonly depends on introspection. Ask yourself, “What defines my inner strengths?” or “Which natural talents do I bring to make a difference?” The responses can reveal abilities like guidance, compassion, or wisdom.
Applying these gifts is just as critical as discovering them. Once you understand your abilities, look for methods to employ them in your community. For example, if you have the talent of hospitality, think about offering support to those in your community.
In the end, acknowledging your spiritual gifts leads to a existence of intention, understanding, and fulfillment.
