Rebirth

Today, I drown. I reject the person I was and dive deep beneath the depths and lose my will to breathe, allowing the salty brine to completely encompass my being. I baptize. Remove these stigmas that society and I have placed upon myself and welcome love with open arms and a clear conscious while ignoring gender and sexual identification. I am reborn. In your eyes I see the image that my child self idolized. You make me the woman I always aspired to be, and I rejoice in your name for that simple fact. I love. I do so with purity of heart and without restrictions. My bones rattle from the thundering beat of my heart down to my soul and I realize I have found solace.
