I Have Done Things
I’ve done things,
there is no denying that…
Some I’m proud of,
others not so much…
But either way, I own them –
they are mine to embrace
and absorb into me.
I’ve done things,
this is true…
I will own up to them,
take responsibility for them…
They are part of me, part of who I am –
ingredients of who I became
and integral to being me.
I’ve done things,
this I cannot hide…
I must accept them as my own,
include them in me…
Realise that the responsibility is mine –
actions of my own doing
and burdens of my own thoughts.
I’ve done things,
this is fact…
All to please you - appease you,
make you happy…
The destruction of the sacred me –
my very own Jericho
and the ashes of my phoenix.
I’ve done things,
this I cannot lie…
Voyages of self-discovery,
journeys to me…
Neither good nor bad –
just being the best me I can be
and being free!
