Recovery

Blood is pumping through my veins
and the stitches are being removed
I can finally get into the groove
of things.
I accept who I am
and what I stand for
as I look in this mirror
Fear has depleted 
and no comments 
are needed. 
You can say what you want
but I see what I see
there will be no more breaks
in my confidence.
I am free to be me.
I have reached recovery.

Freedom is truly a state of mind. Once we free our minds of the bonding influences, we free our bodies as well. Great write. ~Des Juan
