ReMolt

It wasn’t the stranger in her skin but the skin she didn’t own; the mirror lied to her for years in countenance unknown. But when she learned her truest self was trapped beneath that skin, she stretched her soul and slipped it off, re-molted genuine.

It wasn’t the stranger in her skin

but the skin she didn’t own;

the mirror lied to her for years

in countenance unknown.

But when she learned her truest self

was trapped beneath that skin,

she stretched her soul and slipped it off,

re-molted genuine.

      I find that I’m ready to shed some of those old labels that have never truly belonged to me – is it age that I have to thank for that freedom??

      1. Gallivanta

        Quite possibly. 🙂
