My Hair is naked
curling naturally down my back
my face undone
completely bare
I feel so alive, so free
completely untouched by dispair
my clothes comfortable
but cute
my jewelry is simple
freeing, symbolic
I feel like me
comfortably able to be who I'll be

This poem is about getting back to who I was and getting back on track.
