Expressing Myself

A journey from the heart began as a book of poetry.  There was a time that I dug deep within myself to express what I couldn't seem to express in any other way.  Today, I have many more ways to express myself.  I have discovered so many different avenues for stress relief.  I have learned to be honest with myself and others about my feelings.  It took me time.  Having grown up in secrecy, it was difficult to tell anyone what I had been experiencing.  I learned to speak in codes and in rhyme.
Having more avenues to express myself feels like a huge gift.
