Freedom

I just realised that I no longer have any secrets.
I don't have any shame left in my body.
Whatever happened happened and that's fine.
No biggie.
My stories are my stories.
They have been part of my trip through life.
But, I'm no longer emotionally attached to them.
They don't define who I am.
I don't define myself by my past.

I am my light in the dark.
I love myself above and beyond.
I am my caregiver.
I walk in the magic light.
I listen to the kind voice from within who recognises all parts of me as precious.
The dark and the light.
It doesn't matter.
Everything is easy as long as I don't force things upon myself.
Struggle to maintain some kind of image will never work, darling.
And I know it.
I don't compromise myself anymore.
And if you don't like what you see.
Then please, let me be.
Just let me be free.
Free to be me.

Love
Mary
