I dream in distortions
a fun house mirror
of horrors
awake sweating
swearing
never to eat
again
too much of myself
to loath
I feel my body
move
beneath the sheets
sinking
heavy limbs
unable to run
from who I know
I am
About me
- Angela
- Although I’m not defined by these labels, here is a bit about myself. I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a writer, and poet who teaches yoga for a living. I mainly teach in therapeutic settings to trauma survivors. I, myself am a childhood rape survivor, and recovering from Anorexia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'm learning to be present. Living in the here and now. I'm also learning that I can't change the past, but I am in control of my destiny. I'm taking back my life, taking back my power, and learning to spread my wings and take flight. I like to focus my yoga teaching on body awareness, body acceptance, stress relief, and anxiety. I also teach private clients, so feel free to reach out and book a session at yogagoddess66@gmail.com

hi angela - nice to meet here in the blogosphere!
this poem - it touches lightly and yet insistently on all the other "heavinesses" that we carry around ... thank you!
