Sane Again

I've remembered how to be, And recognized it though, Before I did not dare to see, That it had not been quite so. It was I, and I was it, And me, in neither lie, Confused I stood to ever sit, As essence, rather'd die. Broken boy, battle lost, Tell-tale acrimony, Bitter breath, idle cost, Ancient ceremony. Until a hero outside met, That inside I had hidden, Unknown to self I've ever yet, Gilded till forbidden. I broke the yoke, The ochre choke, That silent ache unspoken, Revealed in smoke, Evoked and woken: The token of the joke. Laughter hails in smithereens, To undue worry, fear, and shame. Unshackling the in-between, To play this endless game. I've remembered how to do it, Thanks to you, I always knew it. And together we shall always choose, To learn to fail to lose.
