self portrait challenge























i spent many days as a drifter
as passive and spineless
mostly invisible

today i forgive myself for staying silent when i should have spoken up for myself
for looking away when i needed to be strong
for excuses i made for others
i am not holding on any longer
my jellyfish days are over

and this forgiveness is my gift

There is absolutely no possible way either your portrait or your words could be any better.

Brava!
