how long will it take
to wipe it from my mind
pretend all is well
and just move on

should i be mad
sad or frustrated?

should i be kind
forgive and forget?

nothing you do
is even about me
even if it impacts me
it’s not about me

and so i must let go
i must move on
but i can’t pretend
and i can’t forget

I don’t want to

because that feels phony
and makes me a little sick inside

how do i move forward
without being fake

how do i move forward
without calling it out
without a scream or a shout
without even a whisper
of how i feel

how do i move forward
without making it about me…
even for a minute?

because if i just let it go
if i don’t say a thing
about how it makes ME feel
would it, could it
just might it happen again?

how do i let go
without being a mess
how do i let go
without spiraling in shame
how do i let go
and still believe in me?

Ding Dong.ding dong

I’m here.
I’m at the house.
I’m ready to go in.

Or am I?

For as soon as I do
will I remember

who I am?

Will I be labeled
with my past
with my mistakes
with my dark times?

Will I be labeled
with old nicknames
with old jokes
with old embarrassing stories?

Failed expectations
of who I am “supposed to” be

Will I fall into
the role of child
of black sheep
of petulant teen?

Will I fall into
old habits
old patterns
old thinking?

Will I remember
all I have become
all I have learned
all that has changed

All that I am?

I must.
I can.

I will.

I will set boundaries.
I will stand up for myself kindly and openly.
I will take a deep breath whenever I need to.
I will remember my worth.

Ding Dong.

If you can use some help remembering your worth over the holidays,
I’m doing a FREE webinar on Tuesday to give you some tips and share some insights.

Friends, I’m thrilled to announce my new book –

and this one is written by me AND YOU!

The Know My Worth Poem & Prayer Journal

Know My Worth Journal

daydream, muse, heal, relax

This 242 page book contains original poems and prayers written by me (several new, with a few classics from this blog) scattered between beautifully framed pages for YOUR original words.  I’ve created themes throughout the book – themes like faith, confidence, and of course – self worth! I’ve sprinkled affirmations throughout for pep talk reminders while you reflect.

I hope you pick one up for you, and think of it as the perfect gift for a friend or relative.

Currently available (I noticed a sale price!) on Amazon

Thanks for your support!

My other book, Motivational Mondays is also available on Amazon
– you know, just in case you need a couple of gifts. 🙂
