Introduced in February 2013 – an invitation, a prompt, a linky. Write exactly a 100 words on the prompt and publish it on your blog – a story, a poem, a mini-essay. The linky will be open right up to next Friday, after which I will have a new prompt and a fresh linky.
100 Words On Saturday 6 Prompt : I WAS BORN
I was born to be free,
Why did allow myself to be so tied up?
I was born to be loved,
Why did I become so needy?
I was born to be precious,
Why did I give myself away so cheaply?
One day I realized it was up to me
To change.
And then I was born again
With new eyes to see my own beauty
A new heart to love myself first
A new self that freed my old self
From pain, hurt, guilt
I was born to be free, loved and precious
I was born to be Me.
Wonderful prompt and post Corinne. Isn’t it amazing how much can be expressed in 100 words?

I was born to be loved,
Why did I become so needy?
I was born to be precious,
Why did I give myself away so cheaply?
Could see so much of me in these lines. Very well-written Corrine.

Loved your take. It is up to us to be reborn if need be.

I love to think that we are (re)born everyday 🙂 Physically, perhaps, just one time…but the ‘metanoia’ is an invitation to be born again and again… The theme is so beautiful and so are your six words BS!

Loved the poem and the sentiments. Good advice too. A tough topic though, will have to ponder awhile on this one.
