I built myself in 365 days

Location

United States

My walls were built up so high and one day they were just…gone.

The thoughts rolling around my head had no words to them.

I forgot how to put my emotion down.

I showed myself off like I had my world put together.

Reality, I had no idea.

 

I was numb

 

But there is always hope.

My confidence built from the ground to levels higher than they ever were.

I cut the places that brought me grief and sadness.

I’m sassier than ever and I couldn’t love it more.

I spit fire and happiness

I am a Phoenix.
