Thinking of the man I\'ve become
Is it the one I wish I\'d had growing up
I know of no man well enough to reflect
Nothing to inspire or remember when
An angry language was learned to survive
In no time I\'m standing on my own
A new persona is like a fresh pencil
Ready to flow but need to learn the spell
Life has given me the experience to write
Finding knowledge letting go of my mind
Digging deep to hear words that breathe
As they pump my heart nourishing me
I inspire to be nothing more than before
Learning to listen to what I\'m here for
Honesty and truth no harm to be wished
No damaging words with intent of a hit
The path once walked will forever remain
Going forward it needs not look the same
Triggers that show me emotional tangles
Once leveled out give amazing new angle
There is no blame or darkness of pain
Only light with compassion left to play
