Self-Embrace

Been sober
Since late October
Of last year

Some things change
I still can't sing
But there's less fear

I've started to write
And gain some insight
But still hide from the mirror

It's hard not to look back
And stay on the right track
When you're changing gears

Still it's one year down
With another coming around
And I find myself here

In this quiet solitude
Where no one can intrude
And taste the salt of my tears

As they flow down my face
Myself, I've embraced
After all of these years

Truly heart warming. A self embrace is so the source of your vitality.
Congratulations, well done, hurrah!

He moved like the sunset, God who painted that.....Girls youv'e got to know when it's time to turn the page, when your'e only wet because of the rain..."----it's an absolutely perfect song! Find it you'll love it-----------hugs, rachelle
