Watch the Perspective
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
