Not Anymore

NOT ANYMORE Growing up was bitter-sweet Strong and confident at first Insecure in the middle Shy and naïve; close to his prime Afraid, naïve, and broken- to be expected And the assertion goes on, To him Being broken and healed…. Yet it was hidden there In the heart, mind, and all other magically crafted stores within And then he plunged and broke free, soaring, Now he was Grasping all the confidence made bare Extinguishing, fiercely, the once and Still, dangerously lingering trace of the bitter past….. NOT ANYMORE…. An anthem, now Pushing him to greatness and to the highest altitude, And Yes! NOT ANYMORE…. To the; Days of Darkness-Past, The evilness that seeks to destroy, The inferiority that limits me- close to nothingness, The non-entity which was desired to be branded on me, The chances I missed to Love HIM (God), And The carry-away excuses I made to prevent myself from expressing my Sincere LOVE and Gratitude to my Awesome Family (THE ASANGALISAHS’ AND ADIALEYS’)…..
