(from Pieces of Me: Part 3)

I am a leaf blowing in the wind.

I am the bird that soars and flies.

I am the butterfly emerging from the cocoon.

I am the spring flower in the garden beginning to bloom.

I am letting go, but I am not free-falling.

I know the map of my soul, and I hear its calling.

My soul no longer plays a lament over the past

or things not meant to be.

I am now becoming the person I was supposed

to be before you stole the best parts of me
