This poem’s only 7 minutes just because
And so this flower blooms
As I set out to first find myself
And become the best version of myself
Partly inspired by the universe
Something is pulling me
For far too long I’ve been unhappy with the life I’ve lived
The butterfly emerges
In my cocoon I’ve hid from myself
I hated my anxious myself
I’d attempt to rationalize what I did, as if it was all crimes
And now I set out
One foot in front of another I go
Have I emerged from the valley?
I leave the darkness behind me?
The fallen souls trying to grasp me and pull me back in.
Steadfast I walk forward
Behind me I leave the evil, and in front of me
I follow the beacon of light
Rather than hiding from the world
In the darkness
I step out and become one with it
This newfound energy vibrates within
Excitedly seeking an outlet-in action
Hard is the way to go
I won’t take it easy until I die
A fire’s been sparked
17 years old in November 2019
My journey starts now
Into nothingness I venture
Starting from my roots
Growing a great oak
