True identity
·
The weather is cool The door is open The sage has been burned My life is changing Every step I take Brings me into something new Color on my nails Color on my toes It creates this unique individualism in me Something that was not seen as favorable But the eyes of the judges Are not relevant in my life I am meant to be different I am meant to stand out I stand in my uniqueness There is no one like me I will not be compared to anyone I am the only me I rise and shine with…

Muted
·
The tables have turned The movement is done The words were said They are laid to rest Not to be heard of again The move is forward The time is now It is beyond what it should have been Let it go, leave it there They will never be able to undo How they made you feel But they are gone now Your voice matters Your life matters You are important in this world You do not need to be silent anymore You do not need to retreat Or hide when you hear them coming They are out of your…

Days
·
The day comes and the day goes what will you make of it today? I made a choice I celebrated the day I took what was frustrating And I gave it right back to the universe I reconnected to the earth It was warm and welcoming It wrapped around me like a hug Some days we just need to scale back Think about the things that bring us joy Do the things that bring us peace The day came today The news came today I gave in to it and then released it I found the good in it I…

Belong
·
I belonged there The classroom with the children I was part of it I created the energy there It allowed for me to fully love To fully live with them The doors to my own life were not opened It was not there I was not at home I was loved there I was accepted there They were accepted there as well No one understood the magnitude of it all They still do not But I understood and created what was I offered a place of refuge A place where one was not teased A place where one could just…

Heart love
·
I gave to so many So many faces of lives I was able to touch The memories flood over me today They trusted me The parents trusted me with their tiny little ones A smile and a heart on my sleeve Very aware that they will forget me Knowing over time they will forget me But choosing over and over again to love It matters, I mattered to them I was part of their precious little lives for just a short time They live in my heart always The smile when they do something that was hard Me telling them…

Perspective
·
I am going to be okay I will grow and learn about me Today was a step Tomorrow will be another step Today I stopped and gave myself a gift only for me I spent time reintroducing myself to a part of the earth that makes me whole again It has been awhile the connection It was long needed It made me feel at peace I am going to grow through I am going to let go It is not mine to hold anymore I am not in charge or anyone but me My life is finally mine to create…

Not looking back
It has been shown The lack of time The lack of giving I will move forward with my choice My choice to live for me Not for you, not waiting on you My life is my own Instead of wondering I am just going to move on So many things to see and experience So many places to still go I will find what works for me Step into the joy It has been promised Step into what is mine to grab My life, my choice It will be filled with trips Explorations and places There is a great big…

Tiptoe
The feet lead me into the room The sound of the tiptoe Quiet, so not be seen or heard A child grows up in the distance Never really included or seen Never finding their place She tiptoes as to not be acknowledged If they don’t see her They wont hurt her She knows she does not belong She never fit or was part of She wonders why she is out Her life moves forward She stays in the shadows She remains unseen by most They take what they want She stands with nothing left Discarded yet again No value, no…
