I Am Enough
written by: Linda Moon
I am allowed to be a work of art
a portrait masterpiece painted inside the lines,
or an abstract expression scattered across the canvas.
I am allowed to be more wolf than woman
wild and carefree,
or tamed within my own wilderness.
I am allowed to be weak and helpless
in a design of my own strength,
curated in a collection of mysterious emotions.
I exist as I am.
No more or no less.
Not perfect or flawless,
in a space where the world
can be significant or indifferent.
I am allowed to wear parchment as my skin
to bear fully naked or restless
with invisible ink to cover my wounds.
I am whole and a complete universe
to hold all things sacred on this floating blue planet;
to keep rotating and giving freely,
seeping lava into the cracks
to form a land where I plant my feet.
I am enough
to love and be loved
,
to bear defeat or content,
no matter how great my pain or happiness may be.
For I am all of this
that gives me my greatest strengths.
