In the shadows and cloistered; away from the fears
of the unknown
Not wanting to fail yet failing each day
because I didn’t try
Who do I become and how do I know the goals
are my own
The pressures of life; family, friends and God
Each pulling in a different direction; wanting to please
yet longing to run
Running in circles with no authentic purpose
as if my compass was shattered
Searching for the answer with eyes and ears closed tight
A moment of impulsive decisiveness and the windows
are forever opened
Stepping out to search for something undefined
and finding pieces of myself
Intelligence found which was buried beneath doubt
and shame
Confidence reborn since death had extinguished its fire
Eyes opening and giving a broader view of focus; agreeing
to disagree
Lights exploding all around me as my body and mind
and soul awaken
Free to begin, longing to dream, and hopeful for tomorrow.
