Through It All…

22 was a setback that shook me to my core
Now only trusting a few
Proud of what was creatively accomplished
At peace with myself
& in love with who I’m becoming …

Never needed justifications
Reasonings or clarifications
We all moved the way we moved
Made choices that had real ramifications …

Walking past a dark cloud
Giving myself grace
From emotions & decisions
Made in a different place …

Not asking for forgiveness, acceptance/permissions
We are what we are
Each carried a journey, with our own intermissions …

The roads traveled are above & beyond
Onwards & upwards, we are what we are …

Through it all
That’s all that this is/ever will be
Life will be life & I will be me
Not perfect or proud
Living in the boundaries
Of mental peace that’s allowed …

~ clarity ~ Boundaries made in times of self-awareness…Cleaning one’s house of false trepidations…Paving the way for renewed expectations…My road is not yours, nor paved in fairness… Judgmental claims born from assumptions…Created a rift that time won’t change…Never naming the values behind these presumptions,Nor caring to bridge the space that remained… Claiming extinction as an […]
