Once A Girl
Once a girl, feeling too much.
Barely able to cope with her anxiety.
The unending feeling of disaster haunting her waking moments, setting the mood for the day.
Unable to stand the constant fright.
A pill to dull the fear and unending doom.
But she changed, learning and becoming stronger.
No longer needing something to dull the thoughts, she is strong enough to try again.
Emotions rushing in like water rushing over a broken dam.
Who is this girl so different from years of numbness?
Is this the girl who she had once been?
Feisty, headstrong, organized, with the attention span of a squirrel, and sensitive?
Words seem to fail me when I try to explain how I feel.
The feeling of being so close to my natural personality.
The feeling of having emotions and not being numb.
Now a girl learning herself again.
