Followed Instincts To Become Me

i appreciate the real me for living her truth
for showing me hobbies I no longer want to do
giving me passions that became obsessive
introducing me to poetry, cartooning, drawing

I congratulate the real me for successfully eliminating jobs
All together I walked away from twenty-eight that were not for me
I left some before noon the first day
following my instincts out the door, before the W2’s were created

I revere myself for knowing how much I need people
how attached I am to playing with children
for bringing dogs, cats, squirrels, birds and raccoons to my yard
my heart, my life, my dreams, my ideas, my stories are full
