Finally Free

I need to let go.

I must break free.

I need to grow.

I must become the real me.

I must shed this skin and become

me, yes me.

Ahh, to be finally free.

Free of my fears,

my pain,

my tears.

Free of these lies

that play in my mind on repeat.

Yes, the separation will surely be painful.

And yet, it’s going to be my greatest feat.

I will not fail.

I cannot fail.

This is a matter of life or death of my soul.

I will do the work until these thoughts are transformed to gold.

My path… this life… my purpose, you ask?

To become like the angels,

lighter than a blade of grass.
