Showing up

Showing up

They are not bad after all,
they are not.

Just different.
Not like me at least.

But a whole lot is not like me.
But that doesn’t make me any
different from them.

I am like othersa person with a heart and a soul.

Yet, in my blood
I have felt an unworldly palpitation.

It drives me mad,
if I try to imitate others
or take a back seat in life.

It makes me work wildly
until the purpose has been
fulfilled.

But sometimes I wonder

What if there is a side of me
of which I am unaware? A side
that is gentler, kinder, and
less ambitious.

A growing woman in me
who has womanly duties and
desires.

Whatever it is or is not, I know
I will handle it graciously.

The transition of aging and
then, stepping into the world
beyond.

I have belief in my belief.
I have belief.
