Self Realization
My feelings, thoughts, and deep hurt,
Honestly mean even less than dirt.
In the grand scheme of things,
In this time before I grow my wings.
I don't know why I expected them to care,
And this self righteousness comes from where?
I just know that it's been here a while,
Sometimes being my only way to smile.
But I know now that it's not right nor good,
I'm trying to change, do what I should.
And I'm seeing myself through different eyes,
I see I've become what I despise.
The time is now to make the changes,
To be prepared for when the world rearranges.
To become the one I was always meant to be,
Instead of this person in front of me.
The mirror reflects a different me in every glimpse,
In my eyes I see changes, new hints.
The dreams drag on, each and every night.
Do I freeze in fear? CHOOSE! Fight or flight?
I know it's coming, and I won't forget.
The time to stand or run and fret.
Where will I go, and whom shall I be?
Kept imprisoned, or my soul set free?
Rest is an unattainable dream.
My mind bogged down by the Future's stream.
The urgency stands heavy on my chest.
I know not the words to explain the rest.
There is fear in freedom.
As the cost is the death of the world, and it's rebirth.
