Release it

Release it

Deep inside

behind my ribs

under my heart

where the core of me lives

Is a me I keep

all to myself

And I visit her

all the times

I need help

She is the versions of me

I have been

am now becoming

and will be

within

I revere this space

and all its grace

listen to my breathing

and let go

of the weight

The heaviness of it all

that is crushing

my soul

I release it

to the stars

and take back my control

ABOUT THE WRITER:

I've always had fragments of my own poetry and song lyrics swirling around in my head since I was young but I never thought to write them down. When I turned 49 in 2012 and was one year away from 50 it dawned on me that I had more time behind me than in front of me so I felt an urgency to finally put the thoughts and feelings down on paper. I had no idea that hundreds of poems were about to pour out, enough to fill six books so far. They are mostly about living and loving and the struggle of trying to get it right, triumph and failure, pain and joy, and the wonder of this thing we call life. My books are published on Amazon Kindle Ebooks. Fibromyalgia is what I have, it does not define who I am, or limit what I can accomplish.
