Stepping out of my comfort zone into a new zone that requires me to dodge judgement and face imperfection.
A spectrum of truth, as my reflection introduces me to my self-centered thoughts coupled with my lack of awareness to the damage I’ve done by consuming my impurities for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I begin to see myself clearer as my layers peel back exposing me to the dermis of who I am. 
I can see my darker self with no heart on my sleeve rather placed behind barbed wire for protection. 
Yet, I trust love and the love it gives as I began to blossom as a butterfly when it escapes the cocoon. 
Free to express my deepest self beyond the unknown…
Here I stand.
