Ladies, Gentlemen, Everyone (*bows*) It is Good to Be Back
I feel like myself again. It feels like my confidence came back out of nowhere. I have no idea where it went or how it came back, but something has definitely changed. I feel more myself when I’m around other people and in social situations. I'm standing up for myself. I feel like I can really be social again. It’s wonderful.
How did I find this self again?
This self that is me
with confidence
has returned.
I lost it, but it
came back to me
As if there was no
way it could stay
away. As if me was
having enough
of not being me.
Fuck you poetry class
from keeping me
from this meaning making.
I write with abstractions,
action, and language.
Your lyric poems
are beautiful, but
they are not the
me me.
Welcome back self,
the me me, the
confidence of knowing
I am, that I
am me, and that
I don’t need to try
to be someone else.
I am where I am
supposed to be.
One more note. A friend from YRUU days Rebecca Leigh created a myspace music page, recorded some tunes, and put them up. They're really really really great and I listened to them today while knitting. The song “Connecticut” is really where I am right now. I resonate with it so much. It talks about leaving Connecticut, where Rebecca went to college (I think) and returning to the sunshine of California. Parallels much?
