Remember by clearlightskies

Remember

Remember who you are.
Not the shape others have put on you,
not the story they handed you,
not the lies or needs that were
pressed into your psyche.
Not even your own imagined ideas
of what you should be.

But the real you, the wild innate you
that is breathing under all those should be’s,
all those untruths.

Remember the feel of it,
the shape of it.
Let it inhabit you,
like golden weeds re-wilding the concrete.

Brigit Anna McNeill
Very lovely poem.
