A wash has come over me so startling and unknown I feel like I’ve been cloned I’m not my own. I want to celebrate and cherish the progress made I’m different now tethered from pain. I want to love and honor and cherish one day Forever the rest of my days. So much incredible pain…

Behind the mask Lies my vulnerability, authenticity Lots of longing. I feel relief and hope Imagining being with sisters behind their masks. My mask is my ego Saying, “Be guarded and productive!” And “when will this end?” When I take it off My eyes soften I can breathe My heart expands And my soul sings!…
