Shedding Skin

Shedding Skin

A Poem by I Am Svetlana

Go on, move along.
I am just shedding my skin.
Leaving the last behind.
Old and wrinkled
Like wet paper that
Eventually dried.

By shedding this skin
I felt so new, refreshed.
Like the past never existed.
It was always me underneath.
I just shed the disease.

Shedding your skin
I'm told,
Is the new way to go.
Block out the inner destruction
And burn the past to ashes.

As you live your life.
She'd your skin.
Be new again
And start over new.

A free and renewed you.
