Birth , a World and Another

I can't remember clearly, but on a rainy, "thunderous" day
the day I was told I crossed the barrier between a world and another
the screams, the tears I told you I didn't want to leave


I was enjoying my peaceful sleep~rest in my world
until I was told it was time for me to leave
I stumbled, mumbled
didn't know what to say, do
how to act
nor had I made a choice yet
but my choice wasn't needed


I was already heading for a journey
where I didn't know who I was going to meet
what I was going to do
where it was I was heading to
because I had never left home~my world before


I had mixed feelings words cannot describe
my thoughts and vision were blurred with what I had in mind
and what I was going to meet
uncertain, tears began to roll down my face
as a result of the accumulation of my mixed uncertain feelings


I knew I was already there as soon as the temperature changed
I yelled.
