I got my nose pierced yesterday.
Dear me, dear God, I needed some of physical change
to mark the inward change that has been occurring for the past year.
So it was either this or cutting of my hair.
Something I am saving for a more poignant disturbance in self/pace of life/disposition,
whether bad or beneficial.
Some way to tell myself that I am actually progressing,
that I am not the person I was yesterday,
and the day before or a year ago.
And how I need that when I feel trapped by those who know me into,
perceived judgments
usual interactions
assumptions
typical roles
known failures
and lack of faith.
It is something inside my soul that is in need of ever changing.
ever moving.
ever growing.
ever coming to know.
ever forgetting.
ever forgiving .
This double edged sword creates a world of complexity
duality.
Me needing to be loved and let go.
Seen and known , but not bound.
