The Person Who I Am

I will come through

But will I come through with my heart intact?

I am strong, strong, stronger than you know

But how can you ever know, when I am alone?

I won’t break

But will little pieces of me become distorted

In the effort to hold myself together?

These are the questions

That run through my mind

While life whirls and whirls around me

Changing and molding me

Into the person I am

In all the storms, all the tidal waves

All the winds that have blown through my life

When the castings have been chipped or destroyed

I remember that the outside is just the illusion

That embeds the soul inside

And it is the soul

That defines me

Not the broken, chipped or destroyed exterior walls

Yes, I will come through,

And I won’t break

But I will change

As the soul inside shines through

The darkness

As I forever become

The person who I am.



Blessings.
