FEELING…REVEALING…HEALING



As I lean into the emotions,
I have far too long avoided.

I begin to uncover parts of me,
and can no longer be called unbothered.

Some so beautiful,
they could even be applauded.

While others so deplorable,
not quite certain how I was taught it.

Not here to Freud it,
and definitely not exploit it.

But I love and accept all of me,
both the shadow and the hearted.

Some label it growth,
and of course there's evolving...
transformation is another one,
but healing is what I call it.

About this poem

Allowing vulnerability to no longer be a stranger has been a difficult, but very necessary, task on my journey to self-mastery. As I continue to delve deeper, I not only gain a better understanding of who I am, but am also able to extend myself grace and forgiveness while doing so.
