in the lock of the cage I
allowed you to imprison
me in?
What if I said with each
snip of the scissors I reclaimed the
essence of who I am...
who I truly am?
What if I said with each
snip of the scissors I got
stronger and gained confidence?
What if I said with each
snip of the scissors I saw
the beauty I possessed?
What if I said with each
snip of the scissors I felt
a calm of peace and selfacceptance wash over
me?
What if I said with each
snip of the scissors I forgave you?
