I remember how I stood so weak.

Alone, I sat so quietly.

Knowing what it is that I should seek,

As the walls start closing in on me.

I look ahead, my future unsure.

What comes next is meant to be.

Thinking of all that is in store,

As the waves come crashing over me.

I wait in hopes to right the wrong.

Instead, I stand impatiently.

Discovering that my innocence is gone,

As the truth is taking over me.

I don't know what it is I sought.

One day I will know with certainty.

Feeling the heat of all I forgot,

As the world is warming up to me.

I move over to the other side.

Forward, I come cautiously.

Nothing is left for me to hide,

As the darkness is drawing in on me.

I travel purposefully, my path is clear.

Somehow now I am finally free.

Exposing my long forbidden fear,

As the clouds are moving over me.

I once knew what it was like to care.

Restore my faith in unity.

Looking upward as I stare,

As the sky is falling down on me.

I wonder if the hardships I endure

Will at some point make me worthy.

Silencing my need to feel secure,

As the chains are falling away from me.

I sort through all this mess in my head.

Long buried truths found rapidly.

Awakening dreams I thought once dead,

As my heart is racing inside of me.

I hope that all is how it seems.

Blindly, I follow faithfully.

Leading me closer to living my dreams,

As the light is shining ahead of me.

I feel the changes coming quick.

My true self I'm able to be.

Peeling off the layers piled on thick,

As I am now slowly becoming me.
