I'm not the same

I’m not the same as I was back then

I’ve grown, I’ve changed, I’ve let go of what weighs me down

I’m older, wiser and stronger than before

I’m still learning

To love and accept who I am

To be there for my inner child

When she feels the walls closing in

I reminder her in those moments

You are ok, you are safe, you are cared for, you are loved

I embrace the lighter days

When the sun shines

A calm settles over my soul

I acknowledge the heavier days

When the storm comes

Weighing me down with that old and forgotten ancient weight

In this moment I know

I am doing the best I can

That’s all anyone can do

I am only human
