Awakening
November 10, 2008
As I stand in the shower
hot water pours over me,
washing away layers of
labels and prejudices,
things others think of me
and the limits I put on
myself.
It scalds.
I am stripped
of everything,
of all the lies and assumptions,
like wax melting from a candle
or peels unwound from an onion.
All that's left is
me.
I become one small soul
in a vast humanity.
