It is time for me to stop
being the observer of life
and hesitating upon my actions
today I am a new man
because I move freely
as the individual I was made to be
and the world can’t stop me
for even with death, I can
take myself to a better place
I feel my soul coming back
to greet me before I leave
on my own way
and I’ll go with it
to fend off the lonely nights
and to remember myself
now is the culmination of many days
in terror, and in desolation
and I have moved back into myself
to give the grace of God to the people
I truly believe I can
in becoming myself again
