I spoke, notoriously

A vision no more, action, split second

Though I only saw me and the physical

Inside I denied the emotion and spiritual

 

Feeling as though I was missing something

I had fallen deep down, stuck in a land far from my hometown

My mental was there but my life was not

I hurt knowing I couldn’t be in the nest

 

It was safety

It was happy

It was everything I had known

My heart was broken, I had to move on

 

I grew and so did my mind

My heart felt stuck and there was no moving in time

The struggle of change came drastic like heavy rain

My heart had struggled, but finally

There was change

 

School brought mentors

As well as books

I learned to understand

The constant change in life

 

There would never be a break

And that was okay

But I still felt as though

I was alone in the days

 

Finding sports and new friends

I moved forward with them

Having new eyes

To help see again

 

The pain and heartbreak of losing my friends

Made me stronger, with new perspective in the end

I made a big choice, then another again

I finally grew into who I am

 

I moved ahead and kept my eyes open

Not just the physical, but spiritual too

I learned it was okay

To grow and to change

 

Though my childhood was over

I felt me as myself

And the happiness of my childhood

Would always be inside
