Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time An awakening occurred There was a voice from deep inside Troubled and disturbed The internal dialogue was a product Of negative experiences along the way There was an attachment Denial and suppressed until that day Once awoke Like an onion peeled to be consumed Layer by layer The true self is revealed, we emerge from a cocoon It's in those moments of silence We find a self reflective space We see an image in a shattered mirror It's can be a very uncomfortable place But it is in the broken glass An image comes to view It's a child A life of hardships were imbued Its through the eyes of a child That lies our destiny It's scary But acknowledging sets us free Like the phoenix rising from the ashes The truth is what sets us free It is through the eyes of the child We become liberated - autonomy
