The Shape I Become

I used to draw a picture

of the person I would be

a perfect little answer

waiting there for me

But every road I walked on

changed the lines I knew

the colors I was missing

became a different view

Maybe I was never broken

maybe I was just becoming

This is the shape I become

not the one I planned before

every scar and every season opened up another door

This is the shape I become

still changing, still unknown

I am not a finished story I am a road still growing

on

The mirror keeps changing

the years keep moving on

but somewhere in the process

I found where I belong

Don't freeze the moment

don't hold the past too tight

a river only becomes a river because it learns to move with

time

(with time)

This is the shape I become

and I'm finally letting go
