  • 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 truth 

    I 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 left

    the 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 again

    when 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.
