Becoming Me
I must have woken up on the wrong side of the ground this morning...
As soon as i opened my eyes, they were brought back down, with yearning-
For a life remotely near what I, as a child, had dreamed for me.
Mistakenly greedy,
Or intentionally cheating,
The consequences of reality
Always come on like a beating.
Unwanted and needy,
A little broken and bleeding,
Its myself in a coffin- not even thirty-
That ive been seeing.
I dont mind the bleeding, and ive always been a bit broken,
But let's rid me of the beatings-
For my soul is quite swollen.
Being Too heavy to fly free,
Its spiritually unhealthy for me.
If i can just meet this goal-
Balance mind, body, and soul,
Then maybe I could transcend beyond the Sun;
Another dimension- or even "Heaven"- you call it what you want.
This lack of stability in my head
Maybe damage from my childhood,
Or this adult life I've lead.
Either way its a hindrance in life-
A mental void that obstructs the necessary path.
When i was younger I held a bigger man
Inside.
I find he's still alive and I'll make the steps to bring him back intact.
