I am transforming before my very own eyes.
Looking myself in a mirror that once cracked and seeing each reflection of my being piece by piece.
The piece of me that was broken is slowly morphing into peace I am becoming whole.
The barbed wire that shouted, “DO NOT DISTURB” around my beating heart is beginning to dissipate into a field of lilies that softly says, “Hello, I am Ashley, pick me.”
I am the vision you once saw when you kissed vulnerability for the first time.
I am the moment you no longer hid in the closest as a frightened little girl afraid of the dark. Hm…a dark closet yet it was my safe haven.
I am the strength you found when you decided life was worth living and not jumping.
I am her.
I am the little girl who was damaged, rushing my childhood playfully sipping on mock tails awaiting the moment I could be free.
Do you see me?
I am transforming before my very own eyes.
Spreading my wings like an eagle ready to soar to new heights, new levels, no devils, just the woman I am creating as I speak.
