Truth is peace comes from being alone,
for me full grown had seeds that were sown
from tragic soils sprung something so golden,
life though tested did not get the best of circumstance
the chance of learning from the hurting
the burning that did leave emotional scars
bars that at one time held me,
have to step over the initial conditioning,
training that taught me I was worthless
instead of making sorrow the focus
commit to never staying broken
such beautiful possibilities when the reality is of goodness
free thinker but still at center is the heart,
not wanting to deeply hurt another
still human imperfect creation
but the awakening is understanding
one’s effect on another
not meaning to shatter because I was told I didn’t matter
the healing is reaching new levels of thinking
the waves of serenity continue washing internally
always dedicated to growing, self reflecting, constantly trying to comprehend
all that needs to mend to keep believing in me
with the motivation that all the broken pieces can stop bleeding
wholeness is the reason behind choosing a better existence
not thinking instantly but rather growing into what could be
a vision of a dream that can be worked into reality
