Letting Go of the Past

by Rayanne Nowak

This morning
I felt a vast
emptiness 
inside my chest

I observed
depth and width
and told myself
I will fill it.

I expand and open
my boundaries 
relaxing 
I grow, I heal
at peace and joyful.
Loved.

These feelings fill
that vast cavern
turning it into
a safe place

And the section
I claimed for myself
only continues to grow.
I dare to set no limit
