There lies within me a love deeper than I could have ever imagined
A longing of connectedness to something greater than my purposeI’ve recognized spirit in my depths
The welts on my skin are residual side effects of the battle
Constant reminders of living
I’m still here
This woman that I am
I have fought to become her
I am fighting to remain her
Growth is constant and she is ever changing
Leaving behind all that she has known
But carrying it indiscreetly in her smile
Unafraid and unashamed of who is
She is proud in this love she has learned of herself
A path she didn’t realize existed
Until she lost her existence attempting to find the same path she has found herself on now
The difference
She is aware
Accepting her faults along the way
She has befriended her demons
And has allowed them to walk with her
In light
No longer in the shadows
Understanding that acknowledging their presence
Keeping their mockery at bay
Is the greatest act and risk of self-love
She could ever take.
