day by day
breath by breath
I change
with daily accretions
shedding burdens
each experience
is shedding skin
to grow a new one
more resistant
more tolerant
looking back
I don’t recognise
the person that was me
nor what I have become
life happened somewhere in between

Every step we take in this life shapes us, good or bad. We become. Thanks, Reena. 🙂

I really like this. I too am on this long journey of shedding burdens and moving a new future. Like you I can barely recall the person I used to be yet there is still so far to travel.

all we can do is keep on trying and keep evaluating ourselves, the journey is as important as the arriving
