REAWAKENING

I resigned from my duty

For the purpose of 'fitting in';

To be please all their needs,

And be more like them.

To accommodate, agree & accept without question

To surpress & seethe inwardly, without further suggestion 

To fight the urge

to writhe my way

Back to where I belong

To the land of the living,

the land of the wronged

~~~

The land of imagination,

of freedom & health;

Not at all like the world

of fast fame & wealth.

~~~

I do miss it. Terribly so.

I miss Calliope's cosmos of colour,

In poetry, art & sound.

~~~

And that's why I'm back

from my self-inflicted cage,

Back from the dead

to this flailing day & age.

~~~

To shut down my fears,

& let all doubt go

To link arms with the brave,

& just go with the flow.

~~~

This is my story,

& I'm sure you'll agree

Now that we're here,

It's time

to fly free.
