Meeting Myself
I am an artist, designer, photographer and writer. See more of my work on cmariearts.
For the first time
I have met myself
After a long period
Of struggle
And disconnect
I finally stepped
Into me
I accepted all of
My past
All of my flaws
All of the
Could have beens
And just saw myself
Raw and exposed
In all of my
Imperfect beauty
I saw the little
Afraid girl
Who didn't
Want to see
The truth
Who feared
Life itself
Who believed
That she couldn't
Do it
I embraced her
Fully
Into this new way
Of being
This was a beginning
For me
For my soul to grow
To become who
I was meant to be
All along
I challenge you
To do the same

I went back and edited two books, and both are ready for print. Several others are in the final edit stage, and I started another yesterday outlined to the end in my mind, though we never know where the characters might take us until it is all down in final form. I am somewhat hurrying due to my late start in life, but life may not have reached its final form either. Best wishes, Demas

Finding oneself is a truly wonderful gift. So happy for you.
Having similar experiences in the past, likely to find myself in this repetitive cycle...losing oneself and finding myself anew.
Beautifully written Caroline Marie!

Nice poetic thoughts. Once in awhile we need to look deeper into ourselves.

Hi Demas,
My column is going well, but I am putting more focus on design right now. How are you doing in your writing? I read that you are writing a book? How interesting!

HI Perspycacious, yes we are all growing into something new everyday. That is the beautiful thing about life. Things are always changing.

Flawed but growing into us. Aren't we all?
