I Had To Remind Myself

#28daysoflovepoems by Kiara

I had to remind myself

Who

I

Am

You have to do that sometimes

You have to do that when

The world knocks you down

to your feet and

Knocks the wind out of you

As if you don’t deserve to breathe

It stole my soul

Temporarily

Missing: Myself

Last Seen: Forgetting

Who the fuck she was

My search started with a mirror

I was so scared and it was so clear

I knew

Better.

I knew that I was

Better

Better than I EVER gave myself credit for.

I had to remind myself

Who

I

Am

I had to rescind the transaction

After I sold myself out

You have to do that sometimes

You have to do that when

Counterfeit money gets caught up in

Your register

I died

and then I was revived when

The mirror told me

Who the fuck I am
