This Place

 

This place is where I can be Shelita.

It’s where I write how I want to write,

when I want to write it.

It’s where I can be creative, artistic and imaginative.

Where I open up and allow my God given gifts to flow from my belly.

This Place

Is where I get to know me.

Where I step outside of the box that I’ve lived in to shield myself from

embarrassment,

pain,

judgement,

and emotional harm.

This Place

Is where I no longer try to please people.

Where I accept myself,

 instead of hoping others will accept me.

Where, I can make up my own words.

Where what I write,

And the style that I write it in,

Others may not understand.

But it’s OK.

It all makes perfect sense to me.
