In my solitude
I stretch and grow
Reaching into the depths of my soul
An excavation of my spirit
Ripping out all that no longer serves me
Making room for what I am yet to know
It is hideous and utterly beautiful all at once
Peeling back the layers of who I am
Revealing the raw parts of myself
Exposed and vulnerable
I embrace her and give her grace
Taking her hand as we walk this world together
She stares back at me in the mirror
A reflection of who I used to be
I honor the girl I was yesterday
And welcome the woman I have yet to become
A grand metamorphosis taking place
I stand and bear witness to this magic
Only in my solitude
