They call me ash.

Actually, I gave myself that name.

Who knew the significance?

I gave up more than I knew.

In the name of “love”.

I…wish.

It was in the name of “change”.

I choose not to blame.

What was taken from me?

I took back for myself.

My freedom.

My mind,

My heart.

My body.

All mine.

I am not ash, I am anew.

A better version of myself.

I’m getting through.

Giving & trusting so.

Wiser, I would say.

A little bit more each day.
