Never more,
never again,
would I walk away
from myself except
to turn away from
the image in the mirror
to live a life that fits me
even if the child that rides
my coattails dawn to dusk
wants to stay hidden and quiet
Never more,
never again,
will I walk away from myself
and, taking the coattail child’s hand,
we’ll live a life that fits us both.
“When we get comfortable with our own strength,
discomfort changes shape, we remember our power.”
