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.
