Beauty, looking through me, tales coming forth, creating, revolving. At the moment I’m solving my own equation, resolving, forming my new entity, chakras falling. I am drawing in,focus is dim, but light is calling to me, showing the way, breaking through tauntingly, devastating the past, reforming a new beginning. Walking through the cleansing, showering away once was thought of me. Now empowering my own destiny. The cocoon is breaking, releasing my new identity. How engaging, dreams aren’t pausing. I am consuming the new form, combining what I know I am vs what was thought of me. Piecing the puzzle together, analyzing.

Instead of revoking, I am consuming.
