Transformation

Today

As I got up

I received a message

Two old videos of me

For a second I hesitated

Do I watch them

Do I look back to who I was

And never again will be

Then I realized

No

This was what was

Not in the present

It was what once seemed important

And is now just a reflection

Pieces of me stayed

Pieces of me left

Pieces of me are still in my heart

Pieces of me are broken apart

So instead of giving in

I replied

Let her go

She transformed

And then I allowed myself

To do the same

To let go

And be grateful

For this message

And the person I once was
