Reborn

juwaireeyah

New Eyes 

I can see through lies

and decipher what's wrong and what's right

I can't watch the things I grew desensitized to anymore

New Ears

I can't listen to words that hurt others.

You have to watch what you say around me.

I won't just listen.

New hands.

I look at my hands and am reminded to keep them clean. 

Not just with soap and water

but with the actions they commit.

I realize my body only takes up so much space on this Earth.

What kind of footprints will I leave?

 

Reborn now

I can dance 

I can sing

I can fight

I can run

I can love

and I can be loved

I can heal

and I can help

 

Reborn now

I can't be tied down

I can't be chained

I can't be manipulated

I can't be molded

I can't be controlled

The old me is still here and she struggles sometimes

but it is my job to protect her.

I am her protector and I will never abandon her again
