Happiness and Love

I have begun a new journey To experience the commencement of change, my infinite potential A need to savor this life.. Venture beyond the general consensus of who I am reaching for who I will be.... I need to bare my soul breaking down my identities..... What do I see?... What embodies me?.. Is it a collection of my lessons I've amassed?.... Ones I've put my own spin on making them each unique and I my own....? So many characters I've played in life?... a mother, a lover, a friend, a daughter... all my personalities?.. I'm so tired of self imposed limitations, I need no more.... This year brought me a new chance to do this right... I will grab what life has to offer along with my learned lessons, and not just one personality... I will merge all my characters Into one, so I can become better than who i was Become my future not my past..... To find my true happiness..... Become the true warrior I claim to be..... Embrace her and soften her... Opening her up to happiness and a love....

This really is a very good piece of poetry, Brenda...I was compelled to read it through twice. I have to say there is a sense of an underlying strength about it all; you know how much I prefer your "upbeat" poetry...this has all those characteristics that your best poetry contains: that resolute grittiness, a prevailing mood of cheerfulness and steadfastness -- makes for great reading! Enjoyed immensely. Lots of affection always. :) john
