Silent Answers

These last few day i
have spent alone has
allowed me to grow 
I discovered my
voice and i know now
that is something
that you have to
discover on your own
I've looked and
search though every
peer group looking
for someone like me 
And if i couldn't
find one i would
invent a new me 
I watched their
Movement and heard
their sound
And saw there
grounds 
Move and shake their
world was awake
It would be so
different 
To tremble and fall
That at first i had
not realized that i
had fallen 
Until i stood 
And i stood high
And through the dust
i saw everything
Clearly 
That i didn't invent
a new me
I was being me 
And i didn't have to
tell my self how and
when to react it
came naturally 
I've Found a home 
From a lie disguised
as the truth 
And now i know that
if you want to
achieve something
the journey starts
with you
