I had knocked on so many doors,
then I decided to open my own
-discovering antique parts of me-
some needed to be dusted,
held
and reincorporated
into my world
and then those that were ready to be left behind,
grateful was I for their lessons,
and the result of releasing them
created a load, unmistakably lighter
Enabling me to embark
again on my journey
polishing and redefining
until the time arrives
to bloom anew
