The Seven Stages Of My Reawakening
Taking a road,
A road down uncharted territory,
From a flower blooming
to a restless seed.
A silly child, know-it-all
wondering amioulsy and understandingly
feeling tall;
Hanging with the cool kids,
Acting all dumb and irrelevant;
Then an awkward introvert reveals itself
to be lonelier than a china doll
sitting on a dusty bookshelf;
Never heard, never seen, never thought of
like the rebel who breaks the bounds of their existence,
restlessly hoping for a chance of redeeming grace;
The adventurous thrill-seeker,
searching for the next adrenaline rush
to keep stead-fast and forever young;
Unlike the psychopathic rage running through
each vein seeking to burst out of the seams
and become the rage against the machine;
The hopeless romantic swoops in through the night,
beaming like the effervescent stars in a heart-shaped box
under a balcony of first times;
In the end beholds the dreamer
whom leaves things up to chance
believing there is no always,
just the right now;
Burrowing up loose ends
whilst beginning nuance.
