state_of_grace
andrea i'm sick of living like this.
under perpetual fear of falling under
the criticism of everyone around me.
i want to go against the grain,
break all the rules,
revolt, rebel, do all i can to make the
mouths of the masses
drop with astonishment from
all that i've become & accomplished-
despite going against their warnings &
by not letting their cruel remarks get
to what matters the most:
my Sense of Self.
as i emerge amongst all the snide
comments & looks of disapproval,
i smile because i know that now i am
living as i choose & not how
they deem i should.
my world is spinning in a
State of Grace...
life for me now is sunshine
every hour of the day
just because i say so.
