I put you away

I put you away in a bubble of your favorite colour

I put you away, out from my body and my soul

I put you away, your bubble hanging by my right shoulder

I put you away, for I couldn't stand the pain and the despair

I put you away and will let you back in when I'm strong enough

I put you away

HAD I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Every minute
every second
every moment
has made me

Every scar
every tear
every movement
every memory

Looking inwards
outwards
dreaming
awake

This is who I am.

Strengths
Weaknesses
Successes
Failures

All are.

Finding oneself is no more
than how seeing how
you create yourself.
Acceptance is the key.

Open minded
on the base
of my being
Not forgotten
but not ruled by

Strength of spirit
Spirit of strength
Forgive and live.

Life's too short otherwise.

-- Laura Mc Donald
