still trying to find my voice again
after all the wreckage and damage
after all the times i was silenced
still trying to have my space in the world
still trying to feel comfortable in my own skin
still trying to own my right to exist, live, love
and be loved for who i am, not for what i can do
still trying to hold my fragile parts with care
still trying to mend what was once whole
still trying to not fill the aching emptiness
still trying to give myself
all that i once poured
into others.
