a call for reflection…

are you home
in this body?

are all parts yours?
can you claim them as your own?

or are you ready to return what’s not
what no longer serves you.
what never was meant for you.

what do you see in yourself
when you no longer need to
rush to the next act.

who are you
when you aren’t striving
for power
for perfection.

what is left
when the degrees are dumped
& the adjectives you elected for
disintegrate.

what remains
when status floats away
power is equalized
parts are extinct.

dissemble your being.
gently and with grace.

it is here
where you
will find
you.
