of simplicity.
A lowering of certain expectations
to make room for what comes.
The peeling of a shroud
of weighty obligation,
to step out like a newborn.
Switch off the lying voices loud.
Dial up on a whisper of promises.
Look at your self in the mirror.
Remove the labels they put there.
You can rearrange the territory
and prepare for what did not feel so safe before.
Take off the mask to let your skin
breathe in the fair light of day.
Reach out for help when help is needed.
No more running for cover -
You will dare to shine.
