It’s my life
I choose how I live it
According to my values
And my gut
My Life
My choice
My consequences
It’s up to me now
And not you
Any more
That’s my freedom

I don’t mean to shut lovers out
But
A forcefield of uncertainty surrounds me
As I expand with the expanding universe

As a force of creative energy
Forged and tempered in spirit fire
Bridged in eternal continuity
A Traveler must travel alone

There’s no place like home......
There’s no place like home.......
There’s no home...

I’ve been through such deep seated pain for so long,
Like a knife to the heart being twisted and dug in deeper each day,
For 50 long years,
Like a glutton for punishment
Going back for more.
It’s taking time to know and understand there’s another way to be,
For my many wounds to heal,
For my barbs to soften,
For my defences to disintegrate,
And for my heart to fully open up and let love in
Unconditionally.

I’m still here.
I’m still alive.
What happened,
Doesn’t change who I am.
I’ve been living in
My uncomfortable comfort zone
It’s just what I’m used to
Its familiar
But now I’m ready
To step outside
And to be an active participant
In my life
A protagonist
With all my passions and desires
And to live my life
With intent
And with
Love

Hugs
And
Affection
Are
Essentials
For
Life
And
A
Crying
Shame
When
Absent
For
The
Majority
Of
One’s
Life
