My ears are open and my eyes are bright. I'm kinda hoping there's some light. I come from darkness and from shadows. The past path, paved with lies and secrets, brought out my weakness. It cut my feet with its bleakness. Now, my soul I shall save. I'm hitting the road Trying to find a different abode. I'm ringing in a new role. I'm out of control! In fact, I'm the star! I'm busting out of my bell jar. I've smashed and crashed out of it. The loudness of my freedom couldn't be contained in it. I'm not your misfit! You're the ill fit. Now, I'm flying away. Into the color and out of the gray. Carry me from all I remember but not so far that I forget. Lift me with forgiveness and forgive this wrath and regret. I pack my bindle but it's not a burden-- My past is an asset. The dark inside me stayed with the warden. My troubles, they bubble... My cunctation in this narration has caused them agitation. But, they elevate me to a higher vibration. I'm fetching for friendship and pure elation. I'm ready to travel beyond my backyard. I'm ready to fire my heart's guard. This rocky road has really hurt. My legs are aching and my brain is burnt. The path ahead seems safer, more still. I'm aware there will be plenty of hills in the future, yet right now it's still. But the newness, the trueness, gives me chills. And, I'll be able to choose my thrills. I've got love in my heart and gratitude for all I see. I'm going to make a new start... full of infinite possibility.
