I have been sheltered,
Cut off from reality,
In a coccoon of my making,
Now that binding has been broken.
I am free!
I no longer fear the upset,
The rejection and hurt,
I embrace it,
And the black dog can slink away,
No longer does it rule my heart.
I was living,
Numb,
And I wasn’t living at all.
My children,
My work,
These were my life,
These were my props,
Holding me away from my reality.
Now I face a new life,
Not with the one I thought forever,
But a naked, lonely soul,
Time to understand me,
To love myself,
And to learn to love again.
It is my time,
My life,
My love to share,
And I won’t waste it again,
There is someone out there,
More deserving,
And it is time to live again.
