Reinvent Yourself: An Appeal to My Self

Reinvent yourself.
I see someone who has survived.
I see someone who has lived and almost died.
I see someone who has endured silently.
I see someone who is strong in body and spirit.
I see someone who is vulnerable and empathetic.
I see someone who is dreamy and romantic at the core.
I see someone who sees the good intentions in others’ eyes.
I see someone in love.
I see someone with direction.
I see someone with valid fears and insecurities,
But who despite it all, is trying her best
To swim, to float, with the current,
Arms linked with her familiars.
I see someone who has finally awakened.
I see my Self.
