Alexis Y. Poet Free verse

Intimate Quest

I am on a journey to find the unknown,
discovering things, that are hidden within.
I’m scared and terrified but I must be brave,
what do I have to lose?
Will I find things about me that I don’t like? 
Probably so.
But at least it will be the authentic version
of me.
Opinions of others that weren’t kind, that I
locked deep inside,
Will not reign over me, nor the dislike that
I feel for  folk that harmed me.
I shall turn dislike into like and take back
my power.
I am on a remarkable journey to find and
rediscover the woman that I never really 
knew…… ME

Connie Marcum Wong January 8, 2020 at 8:26 PM An attitude like this can only lead to discovering happiness Alexis. We have to let go of those who have injured our hearts and put it behind us I agree. I am still working on this. A wonderfully conceived poem that shines. xxoo
