Who am i?

facing the new feelings of peace and lightness, what a strange new combination of things to feel. I'm afraid I'll self-sabotage

Who have i become 

this person feels strange

she feels light and unashamed

she feels peaceful and charmed

by her life 

unchained and unbound

feel as if I've been found

picked up the pieces 

and mended them with flowers

they are bright orange and yellow

I'm not used to this place, 

I'm afraid I'll self destruct and burn it down

do to it, what others did to me

turn something so beautiful into a thing of tragedy

i want to encompass this feeling

but I'm so scared it won't stay

grab onto this feeling

and pray

that this is meant for me

 to be set free

How wonderful that you are finding some peace. That you have colour in your life. Yes, I can understand how fragile that might seem, and you are hoping beyond hope that you don't lose what you have gained. You are in a day at a time territory. Take it easy and build on it. I really enjoyed reading this poem. It is one of progress, uplifting in its content.
