Ecdysis

shedding my skin

changing my ways

renewing my grin

setting my pace

*

sloughing the layers

encouraging growth

silencing nay sayers

taking control.

*

accept adaptation

escape dormmate stage

a stanch negotiation

by the turning a page

*

manifest healing

tend the scars on my skin

replace the old, peeling

so regrowth begins

*

turning the soil

planting the seeds

pruning the foilage

developing me

*

granting forgiveness

evaluating my goals

showing some kindness

mending the holes

*

beginning to like me

that face in the mirror

choosing to believe

there’s a reason Im here

*

taking this moment

making it mine

learning to own it

cherishing the time

*

swinging, though, hit or miss

striving for success

embracing the ecdysis

realizing true happiness
