Finally Aware
My past I must embrace
As experience does mould
An uneasy education
Worth its weight in gold
I cannot ignore
Years that helped create
Regardless of the pain
Their value shall not abate
No purpose in dismissing
Who or where I'm from
A history departed
Shaping who I've become
Learning to love oneself
Not always a simple task
Looking in a mirror
Not observing a mask
Raw and exposed
Feelings hard to bear
But unadorned, I am me
And finally aware
As experience does mould
An uneasy education
Worth its weight in gold
I cannot ignore
Years that helped create
Regardless of the pain
Their value shall not abate
No purpose in dismissing
Who or where I'm from
A history departed
Shaping who I've become
Learning to love oneself
Not always a simple task
Looking in a mirror
Not observing a mask
Raw and exposed
Feelings hard to bear
But unadorned, I am me
And finally aware

Yay! Mel your vulnerability is exhilerating. This stanza describes well my condition, sometimes:
"Learning to love oneself
Not always a simple task
Looking in a mirror
Not observing a mask "
Bravisima bella poeta!

Not always easy to face a past and accept it as it is but nonetheless it makes you who you are. Thank you lovely:) The RL is an honour.

"Learning to love oneself

... usually a humungously difficult task, methinks :)
