The Woman I Am
I Guess, I wouldn't Change A Thing
in life's many seasons
I wonder, if there was a plan
any particular purpose or reason
creating, the woman I am
the struggles I've gone through
that I now see, helped me to grow
all the pain I've endured
that I couldn't forgo
who would I be, if the story was changed
what kind of life would I have, had it been rearranged
the pain and the loneliness
needed to help me, rebuild my heart
those moments of helplessness
that tore my world apart
caused me to realize, who I was inside
that I was more than capable
to aptly, self-satisfy
each day I grow stronger
from my struggle and loss
I've removed the dagger
and became my own boss
the blend of emotions
and the healing of time
set this new life in motion
to find the prize is all mine

I want to grow
I want to grow and I’m going to grow. I’m not going to be this version of myself anymore and you won’t know who I become. You won’t talk to her, or be by her side as she goes through life— you won’t know her. Her heart won’t even remember the small moments that’ve clung to it for so long. I’ll watch her embrace a new life that has nothing to do with you, and there won’t be a space waiting like there has been for far too long.

One of your BEST! My fav: "I've removed the dagger and became my own boss"
Kelli, this is absolutely brilliant. And I agree with the message entirely. I look back on painful moments and I know that they have made me the person I am today and I love that person. I loved this so much.
Fabulous!!! Love the lines, "I've removed the dagger and became my own boss." Your closing lines are brilliant!!! 💕❤️❤️
Strength from strife. This is a powerful and insightful piece, Kelli! I'm getting a vibe here - do I see a Top Story in its future?
