self discovery
I Am Real
Once pretty
unflawed
unscarred
Changed to
a woman of
mistakes
heartbreak
Now
I am finally real

Strings of Me
You cannot weave me
into what you want
Hell I can’t even weave myself
into what I want
Because I’m not sure
what that is
I am not a pattern
with precise directions
Nor a nicely laid out
perfect design
I am more multi-colored strings
criss crossed randomly
with high and low points
twisted pieces
wound too tightly
that when pulled too far
simply unravel
I am yarn that begins one color
and changes as I wrap
around and around
trying to design my life
But maybe I need not design it
Maybe…
I let life design me
