With my back against
a wall
I turned to the
left
refused to fall, but
followed goals
that I had set

As they disappeared
behind the horizon
I knew that
into the moment
I had zoom
say
come what may
I will follow, go this way

Had to turn
inside
and discovered
a stride
a fight that was
the way
to get out
no point to
shout at it
just go
with it
and
allow
compassion to take
me through it

this time
mainly for me
letting my feelings
run free
however
with a strong
composure

It was not
an issue for
the outside world
I had no
need to be heard
on what was
really going on

I felt strong
and knew where
I belonged
– with me

So I allowed myself
to be
a picture within
a frame
with no shame
refusing to play
any game
knowing that this time
literally nothing would
stay the same
except for a
dedication
to the
incantation

let love be
my guide

from this I
will never hide

So, turned inside out
I refused to shout
but allowed myself
to grow a new
skin
from within

Because of this
I didn’t
fall apart
didn’t have
to mend
the pieces
of a broken heart
or nothing of
the sort

I fell short
of a crisis

And now I know what
time it is

To find the
right stage
the awkward but golden
moment to share

So I’m standing here
in front of you
completely changed
brand new
