"Becoming You"

 

The lesson in history is...

We must listen...

And learn from it...

There truly is no such thing as a being with no voice

There is only the deliberately silenced or those wished to never be heard from...

This is why we must be mindful of what we say

Words can be like tattoo-ed ink

Permanent marks upon anothers skin

Making forgiveness some of the hardest work we do

It requires a lot of strength in understanding and knowledge

To be able to stand upon our own feet freely and not hide behind the views of others

We are human...

Attachments get formed...

Pieces and fragments of us detach...

All scattering throughout reality...

Every person and place we touch or come in contact with has parts of us remaining

There is places where we once lived...

And there are versions of us that no longer exist...

Moments of life given and taken all within and through the seasons

All of which are searching and finding their way out or a place to remain

Constantly we are building and replacing parts of our being

Digging a little deeper and growing...

Working through the best and worst of daily living

We curate a wealth of positive memories

So on those dark negative days, we remain embraced with hope for a better tomorrow

Allowing our heart the strength it requires to remain present

Because pain can turn our lives ugly...

Be proof that surviving can be beautiful...

It's that gentle reminder given to yourself

You are trying and doing the best you can with your current circumstances

Hold yourself with kindness...

Release the heavy weight upon your heart and anything that does not allow you to be true

Remember that you are still learning...

There is no deadline on becoming you.
