Newness of ME by e. h. miller (Copyright 2012)

“What does it cost to be alive?

I’ve been so dormant inside

Dead from the pain in my soul

But still wanting to be whole

To find the newness of ME

 

I don’t want to look back at her

The swirl of her agony is a blur

Birthing the new girl inside

To find the newness of ME

 

I’m leaving that old girl behind

I’m finding the new one inside

Emerging from my cocoon of wasted time

To find the newness of ME

 

Others say; you can’t do that

What about my life; you owe me more of her

Soaring above their demands; I’m lighter than a feather

As I find my own sense of heaven

To find the newness of ME”
