Minds of the sick perplex the truths. Circus mirrors bend reality prevaricating the reflections seen.
I've been a prisoner of my own mind for as long as I can remember. A chaotic internal contortionist.
Today I am free. An onlooker of an irrecoverable past.
Tunnels no longer control my vision as my eyes disperse the darkness, dissipating it within a crystal ball. A kaleidoscope of grandiloquence. My ravishing debut.
These past few days have poured emotions into my life that I never dreamed existed giving birth to a new breed of inner strength. Stirring instincts of a fighter within a dreamer's potion of destiny.
An unprecedented warrior. The eye of the Tiger. ( I will be strong.)
I'm seeing beyond my selfish personage and feeling the ardent beating of my heart. Reborn from a lethal subsistence. Reborn from Despair. (Given hope with eyes wide open.)
I've been an unforgiving dictator continually prosecuting the outsiders. Pressing to push their feet into my shoes while never pressing my own into theirs. Never thinking to attempt and habitually failing to notice their own battles. Always reaching within and refusing to reach out. (my arms are open, my hands untied.)
I have to accept that what was may never be and what may become will be for the best. My interest lies in preserving precious moments and taking nothing for granted. (expectations replaced with respect. True love can be set free. It forgives and understands. Acceptance lives within my heart.)
Being alone has always kept me confined within a distorted cage. My personal prison constructed from the actions and decisions I've made. (A blind fold covering the blessings that were before me. Denial of the person I am and the person I'll become.)
I've been a gambler refusing to play the game stubbornly hiding behind a poker face. ( hiding my true colors I'm the dark.)
My mask has fallen to the floor and now I bare the shame of dawning a feeble ego and the guilt of irrational and selfish actions. A dancer in mindless soiree. (No regrets. Only realizations of my own faults.)
There's a new dance beyond the horizon that reveals movement into the unknown. Uncertainties have always frightened me but I am frightened no more. I will let my feet dance freely lifting me beyond the ruptured ground. (You may not be standing beside me but you are always with me. Far from my body but never my heart.)
These words are an avalanche of deliberation scattering like pieces of a black and white puzzle. They make no sense yet to me they are fueled by an awaking clarity that's softly speaking to my soul.
(A gift you have given to me.)
A comforting conversation.
Self written promises. (promises of support, strength and perseverance.)
I can see.
I can feel. (because of you)
I am empowered by a benevolent understanding and profound adoration (for you) and invigorating theories of what's yet to come.(for us both)

"I'm on the front line
Don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regret
and now I see the world through diamond eyes"
