I still live with
the damp overcast
shadow of rejection
Its stench still
resides unwelcome
An unwilling participant
in this transition
Metamorphosis in slow motion
a test of patient endurance
I have no choice
There is no way
to avoid this sway
anxiously I wait
for a relieving break
from this regretful stake
I look for the sunshine to
Impose this gloom
Illuminate this room
Of remorse and grief
May its ray’s blaze relief
From this stagnant
Melancholy croon
The rides
The sides
The highs
The sighs
Make me dizzy
I yearn to be steady
Still, swim in
peaceful pool
I will no longer
wade as a fool
linch off my neck
No longer looking back
Riding on the winds cool
Soaring with the eagles
Newly equipped
with sturdy tools
May I roar,
may I tour Life
with new eyes
New mind
