Analysis of FEELING…REVEALING…HEALING
aprilsgem 1980 (Louisiana)
As I lean into the emotions,
I have far too long avoided.
I begin to uncover parts of me,
and can no longer be called unbothered.
Some so beautiful,
they could even be applauded.
While others so deplorable,
not quite certain how I was taught it.
Not here to Freud it,
and definitely not exploit it.
But I love and accept all of me,
both the shadow and the hearted.
Some label it growth,
and of course there's evolving...
transformation is another one,
but healing is what I call it.

About this poem
Allowing vulnerability to no longer be a stranger has been a difficult, but very necessary, task on my journey to self-mastery. As I continue to delve deeper, I not only gain a better understanding of who I am, but am also able to extend myself grace and forgiveness while doing so.
