Once I lost myself
On the road to adulthood
Now I can sit and breathe
Slowly shedding old skin
No longer troubled
By leaving things behind
I gaze at the clouds
And reclaim a new day

It is a slow shedding too, isn’t it? I love that you have coupled this with a black and white photo – creative.

Thanks, V.J. I added a bit of selective color to symbolize that one has a choice of how to color one’s own world. 🙂

Letting go is hard, even when you know it’s necessary. I like the positive outlook. (K)

Thank-you Kerfe for your thoughts. Yes, letting go is a hard process and takes a long time. Sometimes I think I’m there and then I get sucked into a memory that gets me emotionally entangled. Most days feel like a new start.
