Elevation

There is no road backward

But I can deconstruct the damage

I can break the years into pieces

I can renovate and redesign

There is no road backward to where I began

But I can uncover that beginner

She is unburying herself

Crawling out from beneath the debris

Breaking apart the walls from inside

You see, I have never owned this doubt, this fear, this comfort in complacency

These things do not belong to me

In this vibration

I shake apart and become light

For I have learned that I must only carry what is mine.
