A Reaffirmation to the Path I Chose

Nothing ever came easy.
I’ve always carried a profound—
perhaps poetic—soul.
At times, it clouded my judgment
in a fog of feeling.

I’ve made hasty decisions.
If I was lucky,
they became verses—
a poem,
or the bones of a song.

But that same soul,
that same storm of emotion,
guided my path.
Always against the grain,
but fulfilling, nonetheless.

You could say I walked
the road less traveled.
And yes—
it’s made all the difference.

My path has led me
to study what can’t be measured.
To heal what can’t be seen.
But what is always felt—
in the heart,
in the stomach,
in the soul.

I embrace my path.
It has given me meaning,
connection,
and wisdom.

Forever a therapist.
Forever this soul.
