I found my passion
buried deep within
perfectly hidden
behind hazel eyes
Please come out and play
let me take you from the shelf
disperse old dust and share my light
from this newly ignited torch of happiness
Everything past
now put to rest
happily forgetting
that breathing cadaver I was
I found Real Me
child forgotten long ago
blocked by trauma
lost soul .. lost soul
Life was lifeless
I was dead
Real Me returned
resurrecting innate gifts
Honoring lessons of time lost
I wave farewell to the dead man
then cherish and polish Real Me
childlike rediscovered imperfect gem
