Its finding yourself

It happens over a course of time
Just little things at first

Memories

that were pushed
"out of site"
and
"out of mind"
but still lingering
eating away at the very core
of who you are
of who you want to be
until a spark
ignites the burning
deep within the very heart of you

realizing
that you have changed
and start to live once again

yes...live

taking care of you
who for so long
has been hiding
in a world
that was only known as
fear
inner pain
...guilt...
..embarrassment..

Learning to break free
to become
a woman
who learns again
how to love
herself
