To See Myself by Colleen Dorr

To See Myself More Clearly

Relax,

What am I afraid of;

To see myself more clearly?

Not through the clouds of the cancer,

But rather through the doors opened by it.

Blank pages scare me,

As if there is a right or wrong word to

Put down on a page, and,

Once on the page, it exists.

But, it’s all just a snapshot;

Just a point in time.

Relax,

See things for the goodness and beauty,

God intended they might bring.

Not for others,

But rather for myself,

To see myself more clearly.
