This Woman Revealed - Hannah H. Tarindwa
This Skin
In this skin is happiness,
She mixes and mingles with confidence
They dance and dine with self- respect
A wholeness that comes from life’s experiences
The tears come, no longer with embarrassment
The laughter roars unashamedly
Pleasure and pain give each other space and time
For they are me: They are within this skin
Once, it felt wrong to be me,
This one and that one decided what I was to be
It was not an easy feat;
Longing and trying to please
But no longer do I put them first.
I did it by putting up a ferocious fight.
And discovered with each trial, tribulation and mistake,
My best friend was not outside but within.
Regrets, wishes, hopes and dreams, tormented me
They came; some stayed, and most of them left
Yet here I stand ready to face the next stage of my life
My spirit was shaken but never broken
My skin is still soft, gentle, smooth and beautiful to touch
I live in this skin that is not be pain-proof
It has given me my
