Seeing is Believing

I used to be so dead inside
The real me had gone away

I missed that person, now they're back
And we've become friends once more

I see a dream, brought to me
Somehow I think that it was always there

Now we two, take all our learning
And a new future we shall make

I've become so hardened
So unlike the other me

To see such persona, in high spirits
Fills me with purpose, a willing drive

Onward to the future
But not neglect the past

I have with me, every lesson
Even those I've taught myself

Can I make a better world
And in that world, I have a place

A pipe dream, some would tell me
Yet still a dream, I'll do my best

Arise to every challenge
Smile throughout ever defeat

Victory, it will follow
If I place trust inside

So move on, limitations
There's no place for you here

Waste my time, it's never wasted
A purpose served, continue on

Face up to all of reality
But never stray off from my course

In this moment, this nirvana
My soul somehow is free

Take from me all doubting
Every ounce of negativity

I have no time for such intrusions
Move on to someone else

There are simple rules I live by
Never shall I ignore

If you don't like it, I can leave here
You don't deserve to have me

I find that I am always guided
To help those who would have need

I hold true, as each a blessing
I must do more, to spread the wealth

I cannot imagine fully
Consequences of an absentee

All my life, these interactions
If I were never born
