Finding Myself

Image Source: Magpie Tales

Today I can smile with my heart

I have now let go of the fight

I have made peace with my existence

Like the sun, I shall shine bright

I shall no longer hide from the world

A broken heart cannot break me

I have erased the bad memories

With hope filled eyes, I can now see

I am an important person myself

I do not need someone by my side

I shall learn to live on my own

Taking whatever comes in my stride

Today I woke up feeling great

A sense of independence comes from within

I put on my best dress and make up

Loving myself shall no longer be a sin

I have hid behind a man enough

Now is the time for me to rise

My lips are adorned bright red

Now smiles shall replace the cries

I can feel the warm breeze outside

The peace within me makes me dance

I shall grab this with both hands

I will not let go of this second chance

I am on a vacation all alone

This alien room is now my friend

I shall fill it with wonderful memories

Every emotion shall now be penned

I shall live now feeling free

I shall be my own magic elf

During this tumultuous experience

I have finally found myself

I love poetry that rhymes and you have some strong connection with that ;)

I really don't know what to comment after reading so many poems by you. You are just really good at it and reading them is a pleasure :)

This is such an inspirational piece! You should send it to some female oriented magazines.

"I shall live now feeling free
