winter skin

staying with my grandparents, i am happy.
its almost as if i am home again for the first time in months.

i feel better.

i've been told i even look healthier.

there is something about being with my grandparents..

it strips my soul down to its very core.

in such a way that i feel whole.
it peels away every wound and scar on my heart.
i feel like the little girl i've always been.
only...i'm not afraid anymore.
