Shall Shine

I am preparing myself for your coming, your inevitable return when regret falls on you like a suffocating winter blanket.

They are right about you, my mother, Tammy, Nora, and everyone else ....

When the time comes, you will realize that I am the bright light I have always been, only brighter now. I will be the glorious phoenix from the ashes. I will be the graceful Untouchable.

Every tree has a hidden root to show at the perfect moment.

My strength, my will shall shine.
