Keep Becoming…

You are always becoming,

the person you were born to be

before the world began to mould you

to its pattern

and not your own.

You are always becoming

she who learned to hide

and shape-shift

to suit the crowd

the mood

the room.

You are always becoming

and every time you release

a little more of her to the world

I like to think Mother Nature breathes out

exhales

a little more deeply…

Here she is.

Keep becoming.

Keep becoming.
