Resplendent

This shedding of layers, 
this unraveling of my soul, 
of my mind
it's a process,
a detox,
a liberation.
I'm fragile yet strong.
I'm broken yet healing.
I'm cracked,
yet I'll be filled with gold*.
Progress is lagging
Acceptance is an exertion.
Painful, raw.
Emotions histrionic.
Healing is auspicious.
Emergence is transpiring.
Fresh new soul,
newborn-like.
Mind changing, developing,
neural pathways.

Shedding, 
releasing,
toxic layer, 
after toxic layer, 
finally, revealed beneath the messy,
broken layers, 
is a new,
formed self.
A free self. 
Liberated. 
Loved. 
Whole.
Emergence.

A newborn creature,
a soul I now know and love.
Fragile, yet complete.
New understanding of self.
Finally wings are free. 
I emerge,
myself.
My true self.
Liberated and free.
Resplendent.
