Like a river
I open the channels
Long thought closed
Energy flows through me
An unrelenting force
None can stand in my way
The wounds I tried to close
Did so when I left them alone
Breaking the dam
Which held my emotions at bay
I flow freely
Through the world I once feared
Like a river
I let no obstacle clot my path
I break through
And take no prisoners
Shame and guilt no longer have a place
On my shoulders
I’ve freed them
And in return
They’ve done the same
