Lost Myself.... I am only human This is a human who stands in their own, aftermath, realizing breaking wasn't the End was the beginning. I thought losing me was for sure the ending the quietness after the storm, like tying the knot was it. Somewhere, my name would echo in the background. Allowing my skin to bleed, eyes to fill, body, to tremble. But it was the start. The start to seeing self without the loud noise, without the weight of who I once knew. Pain showed me the reflection while my reflection showed me how to evolve into evolution and, Evolution shows me how strong gravity could be. With scripted versions of me, finding the good While we know it is God's plan. So, when I speak, it's loud like thunder breathing nothing but truth, Walking with my head up, Standing taller than the mountains. I thought it was the end. But I overcame what life wanted to do with me. I fought hard because I wanted better. I opened my eyes to something better, a life worth living. Finding power in my own becoming, blooming Like a butterfly longing for my wings to fly high. No longer standing and begging for acceptance. But accepting me for me. Loving me. Believing in me Having faith in me Seeing who I am Not what the world wants me to be. In my mind, living in the land of the free. Joining my family, The Art Of Poetry While letting my words run free. As we are all caught up in what life tends to turn us into We have to find peace in ourselves. Don't allow self to be in anyone's shadow. Follow your own path Empower self Love self Discipline self Trust self Meditate and Manifest. This will never be the end...... By Delleesa Harris 6/15/26
