Best Poems Written by Donna Volack

Shedding, Like a Snake

When will I realize that I'm not normal
People don't think or feel the way I do
It's ok. I will shed my past, like all snakes
Growth requires they shed their skin
Energy from the,' Year of the Snake' 2025
With this energy I will let the past go
Expectations need to be left behind
The skin holding me back in Life I made
Holding on to negativity true or not
Anger, Loss of a Child, Heartbreak, Guilt
Regret, Shame, Failures, even Success
Abuse, Addiction, Traumas all my life
All of that formed a thick skin
A protective shield from the World
Now it holds me back in growth
Remembering and finding Forgiveness
For everything even, the little things 
Makes it possible to Shed old skin
Emerging to a life without limits
Becoming who I was born to be
A beacon of light for all the World
