Barefoot

Make it to home
Pushing last strength left
Removing shoes
Head forward
Being first to the finish line

Flush cheeks
Wandering mind
Sense of relief
Being safe
Dropping everything

Dive into comfy clothes
Brew tea
Double cups
To keep warmth
After cold air outside

Slowly sipping
Melting memories today
Forgotten and done
No longer bother me

Acknowledgement to myself
Trying my best
Failures are my opportunity
To be aware 
Better next time

Letting my hurts be free
Not be drown in
Be human
What a luxury
In a world of facade

Why hide 
I told myself
Laying my weary body down
Tears down my cheeks

Questioning myself
How long 
I can really hold on

Till I am free to be myself
Unflitered
Unapologetically
