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
