Journey

This is a poem about my acceptance of who i am, it's a rather personal one - hope you like.

First came denial -

I could hardly breathe,

I couldn’t look a girl in the eye, for fear of feeling more than first agreed.

I scream ‘you’re wrong, this can’t be true!’

But there’s nothing I could do.

 

After denial, then came the shame -

I vow to never feel this way again,

I was my worst enemy - I possessed a poisonous mind.

I feared I’d never find normality, cordiality, morality too.

Once blinded by shame, I found it impossible to gain -

Any ground, any confidence, any friendships.

 

Just like the rain, the shame shall pass -

I progressed and grew; I was once a tiny seedling  -

Trying to come out.

I now feel like a tree, I stand tall and proud.

 

The key;

Is patience; love will soon be found.

Feed on love and acceptance -

Expel poisonous ground.

 

I now roam cities with no fear,

Unlike before, I let my eyes roam them with me.
