A revolution is an insurrection –
An uprising against the oppressive feelings that held me down,
Defined me by my roles,
Constrained me
This transformation is a liberation –
A rush of freedom bursting forth from within,
A selfish act,
In a good way
My development is a revelation –
A move forward on this previously static life train,
Pushing me onwards,
Enabling growth
This new chapter is a rediscovery –
Opening me up to reveal my true self once again,
As I was before,
Only different
