4:44 Sovereign Edition

New Release: The 4:44 Sovereign Edition

I am thrilled to share the final, definitive version of "Do Not Project Your Limitations onto Me." This project has been a deep personal journey into what I call my "Mythic Suite", a collection of scenes from a life lived widely, survived fiercely, and birthed through fire.

At 76, I learned that my story has a spine. Even when others tried to bend it with their doubt or "small-minded certainty," that structure remained unshakeable. This 4:44 anthem is my response to those who mistook their ceilings for my sky.

Inside the Suite:

• The Story Spine: A visual and narrative backbone representing the 76 years of survival that hold my legacy together.

• The Power of "Birthed": A deliberate lyrical shift to reclaim the visceral authority of my own creation and motherhood.

• The 1:08 Flow: A rhythmic finale where I finally step past the "invisible fence" of judgment into a landscape of pure possibility.

This is not just a song, it is a Trusselli Art statement, crafted using advanced AI tools so that my voice always shines brightly. I WROTE THIS! CREATED IT!

"If my life is too big for your imagination, that’s your limitation not my truth."

Do Not Project Your Limitations onto Me

I have walked through years that would snap a weaker spine,

loved men whose names still echo in the Valley dust,

held conversations with the living and the dead

without asking anyone’s permission to believe me.

People who could not envision a life beyond their own have accused me of lying.

They mistook their ceilings for my sky,

their fear for my truth,

their smallness for my shape.

But I am not here to shrink for anyone.

I am not here, to dim my memory

so someone else can feel comfortable in their doubt.

So, hear me clearly:

Do not project your limitations onto me.

I have lived too much,

lost too much,

loved too deeply,

and survived too fiercely

to carry the weight of someone else’s disbelief.

My stories are mine.

My experiences are mine.

My voice is mine.

If you cannot imagine the life I lived,

that is your limitation

not my truth.

I will keep speaking in the language my life gave me,

the one that holds spirit, memory, humor,

and the kind of love that leaves a mark.

And if that threatens the small minded,

so be it.

I did not come here to fit inside their frame.

I came here to live.

MYTHIC SUITE: Do Not Project Your Limitations onto Me

Scene I The Valley Dust Still Remembers

I walked roads that people swore I could not have walked,

loved men they swore would never love a woman like me,

and laughed in kitchens where the walls still hold the echo

of names they only know from album covers.

But I was there.

My feet touched that ground.

My life is not a rumor.

Scene II The Woman at the Door

She looked at me with that small minded certainty,

the kind that comes from a life never lived past the porch.

“Someone like him would never date someone like you.”

Her voice was a fence she mistook for truth.

But I stepped over it anyway.

Scene III The Sons Who Erased My Story

Children grow into adults who think they invented judgment.

They forget the woman who raised them

walked through fire before they ever learned to speak.

They call it “concern.”

I call it projection.

Scene IV The Family Member Who Knows Everything

She carries her certainty like a purse too heavy for her arm,

swinging it at anything she does not understand.

She mistakes her narrow hallway for the entire world.

But I have lived in cathedrals of experience

she has never even imagined.

Scene V The Spirits Who Never Lied to Me

I have heard voices that were not mine,

felt presence in the room when no one else believed it.

I never asked anyone to validate it.

I only asked them not to call me a liar

for speaking in the language my life gave me.

Scene VI The Years That Tried to Shrink Me

Every decade brought a new naysayer,

a new doubter,

a new person who thought their disbelief

was more real than my memory.

But I kept living anyway.

Scene VII The Sovereign Line

There comes a moment in a woman’s life

when she stops explaining herself

to people who she never listened to in the first place.

At 76, that moment is now.

Scene VIII The Truth They Could Not Carry

People who live small

cannot imagine a woman who lived wide.

People who fear the unknown

cannot imagine a woman who walked with it.

People who doubt themselves

cannot imagine a woman who trusts her own life.

So, they project.

And they call it “logic.”

Scene IX The Declaration

I will not shrink.

I will not soften.

I will not rewrite my life

to fit someone else’s comfort.

My story is mine.

My voice is mine.

My truth is mine.

Do not project your limitations onto me.

Not your fear.

Not your doubt.

Not your smallness.

Not your disbelief.

I am not the container for your comfort.

“If my life is too big for your imagination, that’s your limitation not my truth.”
