In My Absence

I must tell you all, that while I took my time. 
I figured out something’s about how to rhyme.
I was once I child with no direction I now have a true poets inflection.
I have come back here to spread my words,
Across you all so your sprits will not fall.
Now that I can set things straight, 
It’s time for me to resuscitate!

A joy it is to be back here, 
A life anew and without fear!
With all this light I do feel up…
But there is still some darkness in my cup!
