Self-Authoring

I was born from change, not from fault.

A beginning rewritten - not wrong.

The spaces 1 struggled to fit were too small for me to exist.

The labels were noise, rearranging my voice.

So

I

shrunk

near

invisible —

and quit.

My brain, a constellation.

My emotions, not flawed

My whiplash

Cause and effect.

Not meant to chase touch.

I came,

worthy of love.

I knew this when I said —

Enough!

Taking moments I disappeared, and unlearning all my fears.

Still finding my voice, happly learning out loud.

Would love any feed back x
