I could longer
run
hide
deny
because it ate away my soul
I could longer
fight
pretend
act invisible
because it eroded my identity
So I learned to
see My-self
accept who I am
have self-compassion
embrace growth and change
I slowly evolved
Now, even on those darkest days
there is light in my soul
dancing in the sun
and hope in my heart

Thank you for reading my books: If I Could Tell You How It Feels, and Untangled, A Story of Resilience, Courage, and Triumph
Untangled 
Through my poems, I might be seen weak since that is the place where I outpour, but burning into ashes every day can tell me that I have the strongest smile when it occurs. 🌹

I love this. This is where I find myself at the moment. Discovering that those things that I hated about myself where the things that made me who I am and that there’s no shame in being myself, is freeing. I know why I am the way I am. A culmination of the way my brain works and my trauma history. Accepting ourselves warts and all can be difficult, but so liberating. ❤
