This is a poem that I wrote recently free writing in my journal. I didn’t realize I would turn it into a poem until I went back and read it.
Naked Soul
By: Nikki Griffin

How is it possible to be so full and yet so empty at the same time? I get so close to greatness and yet can’t quite grasp it. There have been so many glimpses of the old me and the new me living my best life.

I do not like this in between. So full of love and passion but yet so lonely and void. Things that used to fill me no longer do. Lost between the old world, the old me and watching the world I live in fall apart, so what is the point.

Shedding that that no longer serves me, longing for that missing piece that probably will never be filled. Knowing my worth but not feeling good enough.

Where do I run, which side wins? Where do I hide and who is going to help me dry my tear-stained eyes. Where do I find me, in the space where I feel free, in the dark of night where one can see. In the light where I can shine so bright? What good does it do to shine if no one truly sees the pain that it takes to be me.

How can one be at peace but yet at war? It mirrors the world in which I live. So tonight, I ask thee will I ever be truly free?

  Nikki, you beautifully express the feeling of being full and empty simultaneously. The journey to greatness can be hard, but glimpses of your true self give hope. The in-between can be frustrating, but shedding what no longer serves you is necessary. Remember your worth, seek peace, and find the freedom to shine. The world may not always see your pain, but your peace is within your control. Stay strong on your path to true freedom.
