I truly let my heart be open again
It’s been
hard and trying
But it is.
I took chances.
Some I had to bend the truth for
So that no one could hold me back
Or tell me
no.
My choices, my nine lives.
I chose to be a true butterfly—
With wings that shimmered around,
Invisible
to all except those that saw the real me.
I tried being with others
And let my open heart move on
But I saw the growth.
I saw the
love.
Still there.
Stronger.
And I’ve held on.
No matter
How much
I wish I
didn’t.
