Shame,
Fell off my skin
Scales, water running through my fingers
When I realised
it was never mine to hold
But only what had been put upon me.
That relief. The freedom. The liberation.
The allowing—
All of it wild, abundant, and beautiful
Uncharted territory.
I cannot wait for you to meet me here.
I left the residue on the bathroom floor. And let it watch me walk away.
