Every once in a while
wipe the makeup off
slough off the dead skin of
past experiences.
Exhale.
Climb out from
under the weight of
the shoulds and should-nots
Let the wind
unfurl your hair
a flag wild and free.
Let your skin
flower in the soft sunlight.
The lines around
your mouth
your eyes
Glorious.
