Wake, dream, question, change..

waking from a long slumber,only to be in awe of the world I now see –
is it possible for the worlds to coinside,
to live simutaneously within
or does one die so the other may live

I feel as though I have lived most of my life half asleep
everything is so twisted, so harsh, so hidden
I am sick of the shadows..I’m beginning to realize most the things I was told as a kid –
aren’t necessarily true
things I witnessed, things I felt,
things I was told,
things that were ‘drilled’ into me
the evil I seen, felt, and knew
it was not truthI have been looking over my past
almost like it’s someone else – when I do..
discovering, learning,
trying to solve the riddle of ‘self’
who I am and what makes me tick
what’s kept me holding on to the thin line of hope I have leftthe world I am beginning to ‘see’
in my minds eye
the world I’ve never thought truly existed
is beginning to show itself after all these years,is peace really attainable
am I really worth it
or am i just once again fooling myself
set up for failure, betrayal, hurt once againwhen my eyes are fully open,
will I be living as ‘me’
what will become of the old me,
the distant memories,
the past haunts
will they live and breathe within me
or will that ‘self’ die
will I truly be free
will I live, truly live – in the new world I see“the truth will set you free”
the ‘ole familiar phrase
but will that truth also mean death for me
… … … .
just that constant state of change
never rest, relax, enjoy..

You may heal, but you will never be free of your past. You are the product of all your experiences, so you will always have those memories shaping you. The thing is, you can reduce their influence so that they are not the biggest things that define you, and you can grow beyond the limits they have placed on you. All things either change or atrophy and die, it is part of nature. As humans we can control much of that change and shape ourselves, our world, and how we view others. Of all God’s creatures we are unique in that way.
