I RELEASE THESE EGG-SHELLS ....

​I release these delicate eggshells ,
My own symbols of hyper sensitivity,
I stop trying to over correct ,
My needless attempts at proactivity
 
Unbiased awareness eluded me ,
Hurting you was never meant
Merging the past with the present ,
A victim never entirely innocent
 
These eggshells lived within me
Well before you were born ,
Remnants of my childhood correctness,
Strict regimen and days forlorn .
 

---

I own them now these egg shells ,
On no one do I cast any blame ,
No parent , no child , no trauma
No circumstance against my name
 
These eggshells represent my own polarity ,
Forward thinking on its head ,
But do I really envision correctly ?
Or dip into old biases instead  ?
 
I am ready to set aside these egg shells ,
Replace them with fresh confidence ,
Enquire ? Ask outright ? Listen in ?
Cease sitting on that proverbial fence
 
I am so done walking on egg shells
Of second guessing and living in fear ,
With good intention I shall speak ,
Of things I hold most dear.
 
And wait for that calm understanding ,
My own part I can surely do ,
No longer egg shells will hold me back ,
Only my boundary of love and your point of view.
