I have been rediscovered
Reshaped, remolded into this
Wonder you see before you.
Now, I’ve been here before in
The breath of the wind and
The heart of this earth
Seeping, rich and divine,
Between my toes.
I’ve been here before
Seeing with eyes
Half shut to reality
Mouth gaping,
Choking on half truths
Fingers fumbling with
Lies, dripping with the
Saccharine of truth
And my ears,
The heard only what you told me
But you told me to turn my cheek
And the other side of the story
Was never heard.
And I smelled roses
But never was pricked by their thorns
And I died.
I died, knowing only this world.
But I am reborn
Eyelids wet with the dew of a new life.
MY new life.
My soul is light
Because I’m living
I am
Who I am.
And my heart is content with this.
MY reality.
My spirit is free
Flying amongst the impossible,
All that you told me was out of
My reach.
I am
Who I am.
So my façade is gone
And I’m living,
Loving
Experiencing
What it really
REALLY means to be me.
