Time to start again
Making changes till the end
Countless spins and twirls in these shoes
And squeezing pencils hard enough to bruise
Another night spent gazing at an empty page
Dreaming, pleading, and wishing for a sage
To whisper faintly into my ear
His secrets that I hope to share
If only I could look within
And discover a foreign feeling
One so alien to the ones I’ve known
Then I could reap what I now sow
My past struggles were rejected
And my heart was unfortunately affected
By the cruel scrutiny of the noise from the crowd
Leaving me screaming without a sound
The wings that once fluttered with grace
Now hides my face with disgrace
Disdain for what now remains
Nothing feels the same again
Pardon my words if they come off as rude
But I now realize what I must do
To evolve and ignore sentiments so crude
And show the world what I have to prove
