i have shed my skin a thousand times
each time revealing the pain of past lives
unfolding memories of journeys
that brought me
to the doorstep
of truth
and conscious
understanding

i have shed my skin a thousand times
and prayed for guidance
stepping into the path of becoming
more
than that little girl
always knew
she would be

i have shed my skin a thousand times
each time
feeling less
fear
as i face the revelations
that reveal themselves
at the core of my being

i have shed my skin a thousand times
and will shed this skin a thousand more times
as i find the rhythm
of my step
uncover the light
of my spirit
on this road
to
evolution.
