If I could explain this in one word
it would be “irrevocable.”

I cannot fathom or explain how it feels
to be born into the world again

enlightenment came from the pages of books
and guided me to touch the light

a feeling I’ve never felt
starts at the soles of my feet
and weaves it’s way up my body like english ivy

this grounded feeling
this sense of self
this remembrance
this self worth
this important
this meaning
this self value
this validation
this purpose
this space that I take up
is mine and mine alone

feeling my existence
feeling it belong
feeling it resinate so deeply within me
feeling this peace
and this protectiveness
over my new-found space

I wish I could give this feeling
to everyone
