Change blows so fiercely lately So many directions My life But for the quiet center of me, I'd be lost or torn apart with pieces of me scattered everywhere Each night I slowly self heal Soaking away the day Gently applying lotion to skin raw from bitter winds Patiently brushing out the tangles of my hair And I search the mirror so that I may see No matter where I am No matter the ever changing background that I see this woman in the center of the mirror is still me After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all. |

just remember that, you will always be you, know matter what the outside wants you to be. and that will remain constant, even though others eyes might want to see different. So by all means be you (or in your case, the center of you.... opps.... me.) Bernie Bernie Slicker |

but for the quiet center of me I love this poem. You write from a very real place inside. |
