Story
What is your story? How do we own our stories?
Here I am,
empty of all
.
but the rebuilt self.
Without the acessories
of a dead life.
.
Remnants scattered
on fields
of new acceptance.
.
Fertilizer for seeds
of new things.
.
It is nature.
It is birth.
It is organic.
It is death.
.
The push and pull
of invisible forces,
the very physics
of the world
cradling our bodies,
our souls,
.
tugging at a story
well lived. At deeds
performed with passion,
of risks taken,
.
putting the self,
pieces of the self,
on the line.
.
Watching eternity
decide the fate
of these sacred days. Embracing,
a higher risk, a
more noble journey.
.
At the end
of moments,
The space between
the words,
.
I hide
from nothing. I embrace
everything. Even
my mistakes,
my sins,
my failures.
.
they are all
the valid experiential
fuel for the new self.
.
I own my life,
I claim my deeds,
I call my demons
by their real names.
.
I live the story,
true.
