A Mind Awakened, Can Never Go Back
Freedom Awaits The Willing
Lost in a haze for what seems like forever
I sit here alone - after years spent together
Tangled into a mess, no one wants to untangle
Like a cold lonely night - in the depths of December.
Awakened somehow, by a melody golden
Woke me up from a dream, left me feeling emboldened
My mind now alert, awakened from slumber
Crawling out of the pit, grief had buried me under
Found the courage to speak - things I had kept in a box
Hidden deep inside me, all my worries and thoughts
Brought me here to this place of extraordinary dimension
Where, what I feel and say, are given proper attention
No longer afraid of feeling nefarious
I can never go back, after such an experience
To the place I once dwelled, a mere shell of myself
Used for another one's purpose, then placed up high, on a shelf
No, I prefer where I am now, among the living and joyous
Where I'm free to be me, and happiness is contagious
