I went back to feel what it was like to be me. I went back to know I had no reason to feel guilty. I went back to quench my betrayal. I went back to make peace with my being. Yet... Now, I am unsure. I am blessed to have been given this body; This body that can move with grace, Touch those she loves with praise, And move swiftly without stumbling. Then why am I trembling? I fell in love. Not just with one person. I fell in love with the life I used to have. And still, I couldn't get myself to stay there. Was it fear? Was it a sense of obligation or duty? Did I really come back to resent those I'd wasted so much time on? I have so many questions... and so few answers. Why do we make it so complicated for ourselves when it doesn't have to be... Why did I change, when I loved the person I was? I don't want to mirror my past but I don't like what I see staring back at me either. I just want to be me. Why can't the voices in my head leave me alone?
