Poem

Born with a blinding veil
Learned
Over time, to be fearful
When life suddenly blew your sail
Deterring us off course 
Learning how to fail
Made without worry
Judgment, or hate
In the beginning 
Our soil was pure, so growth
Of love should take
But no,  we littered soil with the dead
To grow nothingness in place, instead
We learn to be fearful of 
Inevitable change 
We are expected to not expect
We fight internal wars 
that they tell us
 are all in our heads
Sure
But the damage I am doing
Internally
 is quite noticeable 
Externally 
In past years, the pain I felt 
Was not an illusion 
A PhD may argue this point with me 
But I can tell you first hand arguably, 
I didn't make up my breath, shortening air for me
Or my heart slowing down 
To a nearly halted beat
No
 it's real , and over time
Unknowingly, that protectant veil
Flew off of me
The one I came into this world with
That was made to shield me
But if I hid behind
That veil
I would never have come to a conclusion of my own 
About just letting go and 
blowing with the winds sail
Finding out love hurts 
If you are lucky enough
To take a hearts impale
People come and go
Like stories and old tales
Of journeys across oceans to 
Destinations that were anywhere
We learn that each moment is connected to a part of us 
On our timeline somewhere 
Each past caterpillar of ourselves that we cocoon from
Is a step closer to the butterfly 
Our true selves will emerge from
