Shedding skins

Like I was missing something

that was never there,

something created in my mind -

a feeling, a friend,

just pretend.

Comfort.

Trust.

Care.

 

peace .

All parts inside me,

perhaps a 'second set of eyes'

helped ta reveal

what was difficult to see -

in me, by me,

but, mirrored in another's eyes,

I have. finally.

 

 

and now a bud grows on my windowsill

from something I truly thought I'd lost -

the one I thought I'd killed.

but there it is: Beauty, Hope,

in dawn's orange light.

what was gone, now is New,

by no fault of mine.

 

potential for my best day ever

i meditate, prepare,

then shower & out.

Here we go again

we shall see

I'll take notes

for what could be

one More time, again

 

again

..

shedding skin.

 

 

shedding skin.

out with the old

in with the truth -

Finding who I am

when I don't have a 'you'

 

again.

Shedding skin.

 

to Original colors

stripped down past the blue,

revealing the real me, set free

not just what I've been through.

 

Finding myself all over again.

shedding skins

Just some journaling that turned into sounding more like a poem, sorta. Maybe two poems. Maybe a song. Maybe nothing, but here for you to see if you want.
