This could be one
of so many things
that change you,
that make you
look around
and see things
in a way you’ve never seen them
before.
Coming up
from being down.
reaching out
from being all inside.
We all hide,
we all cower,
in the presence
of the power
of something amazing.
Let the scales fall from your eyes.
Don’t be surprised
by your weakness,
by your vulnerability,
by the strength
you find
inside,
when you realize you’re alive.
The past
is nothing,
but time.
Hide your head,
until you can look up again.
There is no shame,
only games,
and the name
of the perfect enemy
often sounds just like your own.
Grow
from all the shit
you found comfort in.
Decompose,
expose
the life within.
Excise
the right
from the wrong you’ve been.
You can be anything.
You are everything.
Feel,
and fight,
and die again.
Lose,
and choose
your offering.
Bleed
the blood
that made you.
You are a part
of everything
that created you.
Heaven is one step away.
