I Am

⸻

I am here.
I am whole.
I am mine.

I am the breath I thought I lost.
I am the strength I never left.
I am the fire that keeps.

I am not broken.
I am not small.
I am not gone.

I am rising.
I am steady.
I am becoming.

Author’s Note:

A quiet reclaiming — a return to self, spoken like a prayer.
