You deserve to shamelessly shed
uninhibited happy tears,
yielded from the sacrifices
you sowed for years.
Leap high and scream loud.
Yes, deliriously shout
your delight and elation.
Offer no one an apology
for celebrating you
or your dream life come true.
-Happy Tears

Hold firmly to your glory.
Write a new ending,
ripe with rich wisdom
from the worn pages
of your traumatic,

You drew clear boundaries
for self-preservation.
Do not move
your protective lines
for anyone
who feels offended
or vilified
by your required distance.

I am buttressed and held
by my inner strength,
fully immersed in self-love,
my loyal companion.

I lack nothing I cannot
find within me.
I am whole
and always will be.

I am Whole by Michelle Stradford

I can sit and cower in the dark
or kick the doors wide open.
I can shield my breakable heart
or let it roam free and vulnerable.
I can allow fear to break me apart
or hold myself together.
I choose to make a bold new start
racing through life untethered.

Know what fears
your mountains
are made of.
Only then can you create
a viable plan to either climb
or move them.

Defeated, but I am not broken.
This test is far from over.
I brush those old failures
off my heavy shoulders,
and reject the very notion.

I will run warp speed
until my wings lift high
and spread fully open.
