The releasing of what thrived in unhealthy conditions.
Boundaries
Sometimes they make others hard to see.
As when I implement my boundaries,
They see the defense and make themselves less available.
Do my boundaries raise alarm?
I instilled this defense as an gate to maintain what's healthy.
I was hoping you fit that criteria.
The releasing of what no longer fits.
Letting Go
Let go of what you've outgrown.
From clothes to shoes,
From habits to people,
From beliefs to mentalities,
Because pruning applies to more than just plants.
What happens when the dark and bitter parts finally shed.
Glow
Here I am
expressing myself
loving myself
being ALL of myself.
Here I am
Is this the glow I've been striving for all these years?
Even with new growth within us, we may still find ourselves returning to the very places that once nurtured what we had to let go.
The Conflict Of Old Environments VS New Standards
Reluctant to turn around,
Hating to see old connections,
But loving to see family.
Reminiscing of what used to be,
While hating what was,
Because old standards don't fit anymore.
Going back to a community not educated on the new standard of "Me."
Shaking hands and giving hugs,
Seeing them look in my eyes for someone who isn't there anymore.
Weight has been shed. Old habits don't fit anymore, and some friends drift back to acquaintences.
Who Will She Be?
Now that heavy burdens don't define her,
WHO IS SHE?
Now that she walks free,
WHO WILL SHE BE?
Will she pave a new way?
Will she begin her journey and stop walking the path others paved for her?
See their standards burden her no more.
The heavy chains that once tied them to her them are no more.
She is free, so we ask
WHO WILL SHE BE?
