Identity

When I need to reflect

I write poetry

The words bubble up

And burst out of me

Returning my chi to its harmony

Releasing my thoughts

So they can run free

Exposing my soul

For the world to see

In a few lines that reveal

My identity

The words heal scars

That the world inflicts

Easing the pain I cannot fix

Allowing the light to rebuild again

Healing my soul from deep within

So the process can then begin once again
