Today of all days
I will not be defined
By the lines on my page,
Or a thing that I left
Behind me.
I will not be uglied
By your eyes.
I will not be a scar.
I will be solar.
Look at me.
I knew this prompt wouldn’t leave me alone. This is for dVerse again. I love quadrilles so much.
Sarah writes poems 
I love them too, Sarah. Such wonderful short stories they are. This one, as with your first, is just wonderful. “I will be solar.” YES!

This is how we should speak to ourselves… it’s said we should listen… sometimes that’s not true.

Strength comes from leaping beyond the past or the definition of another. Wonderful words to reflect the journey of finding one’s way to being ‘solar.’ ❤
