oh, sweet mistakes
how dear you are to me
i'd never know success without you
every skinned knee brought the eventual feeling of restoration
every heart ache whispers of future empowerment
and with every black eye - the promise of beauty returned
one must feel their weakest at some point
in order to ever fathom true strength
i've found myself in the heaps of rubble
left behind by what i'd never wanted to become
in ruin we are reborn
so let the levy break
let the water wash away what we've made
let the words evade me
let the type-writer's keys stick
let the ribbon jam
let all of my thought-out conceptions of what will happen
never be
let it all go to ****
and get lost
and crumpled and bruised
let it all snowball out of my control
so that i can let go
and let it be how it's meant to be
let me rise from the ashes
dust off my wings
and cling to the hem line of the ever-twirling skirt of the sky
let me fly
it's been so long since i've tasted the freedom accompanied with the abandonment of the flight-plan
how i've missed the adventure of being lost
and the undeniable sense of self-worth acquired by finding yourself
i am new
