Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

One Year Old

One Year Ago

I found myself at my lowest point
Barely keeping my head above water
My brain screaming to give up
But I held my head up long enough
to take out my tools and fix it

One Year Ago

My old self dissolved away
Turned to ashes as I prepared
to be born again, to be renewed
growing, changing, becoming more

One Year Past

A year of loss, a year of learning
Undergoing metamorphosis to become me
Trying, failing, succeeding
I know it’s hard, but I can do this

One Year Past

I’ve emerged from my cocoon
Spread my beautiful wings
Took off into the morning sun
I have become the sky

One Year Old

I was reduced to nothing
died, and was reborn
Now I can be who I’m meant to be
Now I can live my true life

My New Life
My True Life
One Year Old
