Restoration

Posted byclarabergePosted inUncategorizedTags:,

Dimly I realise that something is happening
There is a painful scrape
Oh, the pain!
Oh, the relief.
A layer of heavy toxin lifts of me

I always knew this wasn’t who I am
My true self buried under the layers that others applied to me
You should act like this
You should look like this
You should love like this
You should…

Unable to breathe, stifled, suppressed
Another scrape
I want to run off the table
My exposed ugliness is lying naked for all to see
But I know there is more to me
Underneath it all is something real
Someone worth fighting for

This process isn’t glamorous
Some days I lie in self pity when I see the state I’m in.
I miss the days when a nice coat of paint could hide it all
But I won’t give up on me
Hope does not despair

One day my pure, beautiful self will be fully revealed.

My original intent.
Authentic and real
Restored

I'm an author who loves to write stories that inspire and uplift others. I started writing novels five years ago during a difficult time of my life. Fanning the flame of a lifelong passion for stories into real life novels brought me into a new season of my life. At present writing is not my fulltime job yet. I'm a full time mother and strive to keep my priorities the right way around. I hope you enjoy the stories I have written so far. They are gifts from my house to yours. Enjoy.

  2. Apparently one comment simply is not enough…may I please copy and paste this into my personal journal? In the process of my revealing…I feel myself moving back towards the place where I used to write like this…it’s in there…but, you have written precisely where I LIVE right now…this. Heart to heart…thank you.
