She

Who I am in spite of everything and anything is Who I AM.


I am She who stands.

I am She who imagines.

I am She who acts.

That is Who I Am.


I am She who waits

Patiently and impatiently.

I am She who moves forward

and then, not knowing why, waits.

That is Who I Am.


I am She who found her Cause

and now sits in familiar,

panicked doubt.


I will see the sun again.

I will find my way, my Purpose.

I have found it many times

since finding it the first and only time.

It always returns to me,

and I to it.

It cannot be long now.

I am She.

Re-Living

I visited my old identity, the accomplished, successful one.

I got all caught up in it, trying to relive the feeling.

But it was just my pathway to where I am now.

The one where I passed through hell, devastation, and despair.

The one where I saw the evil, cruelty and torture behind the success.

I dissolved those past influences over many years and with indescribable effort.

And I am here, now.

A listener.

Not jumping to fulfill someone else’s dreams.

Back in my own skin.

A calmer, quieter vision.

One where I can hear my own heart.

Live according to my own soul.

It sure was exciting there for a little while.
