Out of my head
The subtle breeze
Sunshine in my face
Driven by a desire
To shed my old skin
While honoring
How it served me
Driven by a desire
To connect with my family
And talk about
Hopes and fears
Driven to heal
Myself and others
Each step feels right
No sign of stopping
Connected again
Ready to forget
The last three weeks of
Self destruction
Aware that my negative voice
May try to sabotage
I’ll find a way to muffle it
Mute it
And eventually cut its vocal chords
