My whole life
I have
Denied
My accomplishments
Diminished
My successes
Defended
Against praise.
I have fought
Validation
That came
From others.
All recognition
Rang hollow
In the vacuum
Of my achievements.
Until now.
A circle of women
Has surrounded me.
Holding me.
Gently.
Seeing through
What I have done
To what
I can become.
Resonating
With my core
Praise
Has become
Affirmation.
With tears streaming
I am overwhelmed
By gratitude
For these brilliant souls
Who have patiently
Lovingly
Held a space
For me.
The brightness
Of my soul
Is burning
Through the fog.
Thank you
My dear friends.
