Room To Grow

I've been in a stasis,
Thinking I was broken, 
I need to face this,
Break down my sin.

I have been proud,
Thought I was great, 
So I shouted loud,
But that was not my fate.

Soon the fire died down,
And the words dried up, 
I couldn't face my own frown,
Went from top dog to a pup.

This absence of mind,
Has given me time,
To heal and find,
Inspiration from nothing; like a mime.

Now everything has some light,
Every wrong doing,
I can make right,
I only need positive thinking.

Never again will I be, 
Too blinded by my poetry,
To see,
The room to grow; in me.
