#5

I did this amazing thing, and I feel free..
Lighter, as if I might float away somewhere...
Off in the distance I see my old self and I wave goodbye to that girl..
I stand alone in the room,
embracing the woman reborn within me,
greeting her presence.
Honored by her choice of me for her sister, mother, lover, wife;
choosing me to be her everything.
I acknowledge that it is time to live and let die. Those burdens too heavy to carry I lay down my arms and defenses.
I am throwing up my hands to the sky
because I need to give up the fight
before it kills me.
