Welcome back, they said
As I was born
Eyes refusing to open
Mouth protesting existence
-Another life time to live?
Another lesson to learn?
I have lived too many lives to count
Yet I am still being reborn
For a lesson I refused to learn
Welcome back, they said
As I was born
Eyes refusing to open
Mouth protesting existence
-Another life time to live?
Another lesson to learn?
I have lived too many lives to count
Yet I am still being reborn
For a lesson I refused to learn
You scream out and they forget why
You awake and start to cry
-Oh this earth, I longed to view
Oh this earth, has room for but a few
And I was chosen
And after the choice
I was frozen
For hearing my new voice
So let me scream a moment or two
For soon I’ll forget what I came to do
.
.

Do you remember your purpose?

Hot showers and candles used purely for the scent
Beds raised from the ground that don’t smell like cigarettes
Dish washers oh how beautiful it is
To hide your mess especially those dishes!
Traffic lights and construction zones
Things you might hate unless you’ve lived without
I forget to be thankful each and every day
But sometimes when I’m alone I scream and say
THANK YOU
Before I complain
That my WiFi connection has gone insane
There was a shift in consciousness
A change in view
The monster was a man
Holding a gun at you
You were the duck that landed
Trusting when you should’ve flew
Now you are back to your body
Not knowing what to do
Maybe I am the monster and the victim
Or just consciousness floating between bodies
Trying to find an answer
Of why
Must we to kill to eat and live to die?
It’s not an easy fix
Not to be me
It’s not a simple change
From what you can see
For I have only been “me” and I don’t know what else to be
So if my smile offends you
or
My body disgust you
Then there’s nothing I can say
For I am ME
And this way I’ll stay

There it goes
Hiding behind logic and what it knows
An idea that’s not fully formed
The thought changes and grows
Quietly lurking in a corner of my brain
Not ready to scream out its name
Look at this world of mine
There are lights, and street signs
Detours and construction work
Things I never thought I’d see
…
Strange how life turned out to be
From the thirty minute walk in January cold
Just to get to a class and do as I’m told
…
To the wild dogs chasing after me
And the rain following close behind
…
I never thought I would find
Myself complaining about a traffic light
Here lies a dream
In papers drowned by ink
Things, even if you steel, you can never take away from me
Land I forget, before I remember
Places where I used to belong
Earth that smelled much like I
There I lay
And awake I see
There can be another me
Immigrant in this earth but free
.
.
(Was turning dark so I had to turn around)
I did not know
Where she went
Or where to go
To find that girl that glared through my mirror
Hello my old self
Where did you hide
Did this world rip you out from my insides?
Did the glass prove too sharp
And life too dim
For me to ever see you again wearing that innocent grin
I’m just a reflection of the thing possessing me
Of a soul entrapped in a tower without a key
Forgive it, it has forgotten what was and where it used to be
A god reduced to a human
Falling by choice just to see
The happiness after the sadness
And the naivety of thinking it’s free
