LJ Idol Week 13: Open

[dakotawitch]

This year April had a blizzard
Just to show she did not care
And the new dead leaves
They made the trees
Look like children with grey hair
But I'll push myself up through the dirt
And shake my petals free
I'm resolved to being born
And so resigned to bravery
                     -- Dar Williams, "Spring Street

This is really well written. I think it's so true about showing up for yourself.

I love the allegory of the shell. Brilliant!

Living openly serves as a model for others as well.

This is why I'm open about being a survivor of rape.

You write about it really well.
