So, This Is What That Feels Like
Freedom To…
The weight on my chest has been lifted
The fear in my eyes, gone away
For too long I resisted
Obstacles in my way
I stood up for me
And rid myself
Completely
Of your
Shit
Free
To be
Whoever
I choose to be
Completely immune
To the grip you once had
Never repeating the past
Becoming the girl that I was
Before I surrendered my power

Unofficial Challenge: What would you do if you were rich?
I love the kind of work I get to do in my career, but as I job search and browse apartments again due to another understaffed and unsustainable work environment that I did not intend to get into, my daydreams of better days consistently lean into the same question: What would I do if I didn't have to worry about my basic needs being met?

Yes! 18 is a magic number!! 😄👏 Cool work and poignant message Kelli. Another no Nonet! ;)
Awesome poem!
This shows the ups and downs and the comings and goings of love.
Excellent. I really admire the construction. Well done!
I am glad you are back cause that girl a lot of us relate to that was lost. Welcome to the rest of your life.
Oooo, this was extremely powerful! I love that you did the Nonet in reverse!
Yes. We shouldn't be so tied to our other halves that we forget ourselves too. Sweet butterfly Nonet!
This is lovely. Strong.
