Coming home

The moment she realised 

she could not run away from herself 

was the moment she allowed herself 

to be caught. 

Coming home to herself 

was the most indescribable feeling. 

Liberation.

Freedom.

Acceptance.

Home.

[Bryad Polis Valentino]

They say home is where the heart is at. Your poem proves this to be true, as every heart wishes to be free. To have a captive heart is almost postmortem. Chains that bind us to this Earth tighten what really matters, our personal liberty, as you so clearly state. Good work on this short but meaningful piece.

[Laura Kate]

You explain this so nicely Bryad, thank you for your thoughtful review.

we can get so far away from who we really are...but when we find our home base (ourselves) again...
the real we...yes, it's acceptance and freedom....and who cares what others think...
we are what we are.
really thoughtful piece.

Knowing oneself, understanding oneself, give oneself to oneself, love oneself and accepting oneself as oneself is could be the best freedom oneself can have.

Sorry for my reputation of words. It's just intentional.

[Laura Kate]

I appreciated it, as I also contemplated my own repetition of 'herself' in my poem but decided it was necessary. Thank you for your lovely review Kay,
Laura

Self acceptance can be the best love ever. You've truly brought that sentiment home with this work. Great job! CD
