*I’ve had some suggestions about a few of my pieces from a friend.  I’m taking those pieces and reworking them.  So you may see some things here that look familiar.  I feel this new version of I Am Enough flows better and makes more sense.  I hope you enjoy it.  ❤  

You told me to toss away

the masks

I showed

my true self

You adored the sass

and the fight

After the mask

was cast aside

What remains?

You chipped away

at my shields

I thought they

would keep me

safe

The shields were

left behind

Walls

were bought down

too

Brick by brick

they fell away

The dark corner

I had once

retreated to

Is now bathed

in a glorious

light

What remains?

What remains is a

Stong

Confident

Woman

I no longer

need

the shadows

I now appreciate

the fight

and the sass

inside me

I stand

proudly

in the light and

take what

is rightfully

mine

I like who I am

and

I am

Enough
