Chip away at the anxieties
And you may be left holding some
Confidence—some shape of
Self-care that doesn't smell of
Bitterness multiplying
For years. There's never a time
Where you stop flourishing and if
You think you met a stone wall,
It isn't true.
You are capable of chipping away at
The wax poured on you—it's slowing
You down, and then you can
Reveal a new flame.
So when you accept yourself and
Realize that your changes never
End, you can begin to smile.
