Hiding my emotions behind a bottle,
Drinking my pain away and removing all my sorrows.
A waste of talent; drowning in my tears,
One day I realized – there is nothing to fear.
My eyes opened and I started to feel whole,
Past lives flashed through my mind,
Stories untold.
Threw away the bottle and left it all behind,
I no longer had the need to unwind.
A process that hasn’t been easy to climb,
Emotions that just had to remind.
My soul woke up and together we see,
A memory of the past and the present me.
I finally woke up to reality,
I see the world unlike no one sees.
A magic filled moment that can be good or bad,
Feeling every emotion- Happy or sad.
Walking amongst the most heart broken,
Quiet; words that are left unspoken.
A dream that will one day come true,
Letting go of the thought of you.
A soul so black but pure as gold,
With all this pain I still won’t fold.
My eyes opened and I started to feel whole,
Past lives flashed through my mind,
Stories untold.
