Shedding you like a snake sheds their skin
Cutting you from my bones, took time
Learning to love me again
Reminding me, be kind
And then, there she was
That girl I knew
Emerging
From the
Dust

It takes alot to pick one back up after a break up, especially if it's a bad one. Though, I agree we always find ourselves again in the end.
This was freaking powerful and made me smile!
A strong testimonial of rising again; fine work Kelli!
I absolutely love the ending. Well done, my friend.
I love this imagery so much (despite not liking snakes, lol). It felt like such an empowering rebirth. Bravo :)
Getting a brand new you.
Incredible poem.
