Walking Away

Oil on Belgian Linen

Walking away
From the person
I have known to be
Walking away
From the family
I have known and loved
My identity
And sense of belonging
Forever changed
Grieving the loss
Betrayals
Misunderstandings
A mother’s love denied
A sibling’s love betrayed
Time and distance
Heals my broken heart
A skin is shed
Transforming
Like a butterfly
I awake to meet
A new day
A new me
A stronger wiser me
With love holding the key.
