My Dawn

You needed to possess me.
You wanted to grab my soul away, you were always so greedy.
For so long I fought our reality, I thought I could make it right.
For so long I feared the end of us, you were my only dream.
But I am not going to lose this fight.
It’s time for me to leave you behind. I do not see the end anymore,
But only a new beginning.
It’s time for me to see a new dawn. My dawn.

Dragon Fly

When my son had only seen four summers
He spoke to me of his love for dragonflies.
I told him that I was ready to learn why.
He said ” I like how they fly, they’re free,
I wish I could fly like that.”
Then I said “use your imagination”.
And he answered, “Yes mom, let’s fly together.”

I………

I dream of having big wings that will carry me through my good times
and bad times.
I hold on to the freedom that defines me for who I am.
I embrace the passion that feeds my compassion.
I remind myself to never forget that there is light even
when I cannot see.
I imagine how beautiful it is to just feel the peace.
I breath thinking that every breath I take is a piece of my future.
I live believing that I’m never alone.
I gaze around with the knowledge that this is the life that belongs to me.
