Once upon a death-trap day,
I discovered me,
And decided,
With knowledge of courage needed,
To set her free.
Free with all her beauty,
Transparent to those who loved,
Clear to all,
Who thought they knew,
The me I thought I was.
No more of the hiding,
Behind words of expectation,
And fear.
Once upon a death-trap day,
I became my own creation.
Hi Rose - Thanks for the comments. I may just go with one of your suggestions. 'Clarity' I could do with some of that.

Excellent poem Jacqueline!.I think expecting too much of people,although common,remains a very big mistake for anyone to make.
Becoming your 'own creation?'..essential!
'death-trap day'...sooo cool!
Suggested titles? Seeing the light?
Throwing the switch?
Clarity?
If not,I'm sure you will come up with a goody.x
