Myself

Myself

Is this allowed?
Did I somehow give permission?
Was I seeking for you to change me?
Yet, I must find a way to stay true to who I am--who I'm meant to be.

Am I faulty or broken?
Are there pieces and shards round about?
Do I need some kind of rebuilding, repurposing?
I suppose, no one is perfect--everyone's a work in progress.

Do I have the strength to face this?
Can I stay true to myself and change?
Is it painful to go forward, knowing what I know?
Facing this seems the only solution--to press onward and grow.

Devastated
   
     Aware

          Pained

               Quiet

                    Hopeful

                         Enlightened

                              Energized

                                   Fulfilled

                                        So many questions on this journey of becoming.
                                        So many steps on this pathway of understanding.
                                        Just trying to find and be...

                                                                                        Myself.
                                                                                                                       4-30-17

(Just found this one on a computer I don't use often.  I wrote it a long time ago and feel that it really represents some new challenges I have right now as I have changed the trajectory of my career and I am really trying to find myself right now.)
