I have finally started to work in earnest on my slow sculpture.
I recognize all the things within myself that perpetuate my self defeating cycles.
All the patterns of my behavior that have made me my own worst enemy.
And with this new awareness…..
I have a new Perspective,
Now that my view is not blocked by my old protective shroud,
That covered my eyes in despair.
I have a new Clarity,
Now that I am able to see myself as I am,
Instead of as the sum of my faults.
I am able to see the golden qualities once thought lost
The intelligence,
The talent,
The kindness, empathy and humor
All of the things I had tried so hard to hide
To lessen my self worth,
A punishment for imagined wrongs.
I can now laugh at myself,…my pain is not so serious.
No longer crippling, and it will no longer dictate the course of my life.
And so,…I am regaining my ability to make conscious choices.
And I grow stronger with each day.
Perhaps with this new perspective,
This new clarity,
I’ll be able to create a life in which I am no longer my own worst enemy.
A life where realization of self worth, will empower me to recognize and defend myself against abuse.
A life in which self punishment has no place,
A life that I can at last take pride in.
A life where I can at last have peace.

From realisation to the power of choice,to the empowerment of self worth and the ongoing process that means you have a life, and the strength to continue to.... work on my slow sculpture..... Through your poem you have given insight and hope, well written. |
