She is like a snake
She’s shedding the layers of hurt she no longer needs
She is becoming strong to defeat and to be ready for battle
She’s becoming stronger and will have the grip of things real soon
The grip of life and it’s torture
But they won’t affect her
She is ready for them
Mentally
Physically
And emotionally
She’s shedding
But she will not forget her old flesh
Because it has made her into something better
She is ready for her new skin
She is ready to be bigger and better
She is looking at things differently
She’s getting comfortable in her own skin
She will be a beautiful snake with battle scars
But those scars will no longer hurt nor define her
They will be instead her beauty and empowerment
Each scar has a story of its own and all together will create an image
They will fit her beautifully
