REBORN


I've left myself adrift
Floating, flailing helplessly
My sorrows and my misconceptions
Can't be turned into words
I burn my neck, I strain to create

Looked to natures wonders
For all the inspiration lies
Did not like what I saw on paper
Did not know how to write

Cut my thoughts in half
Tried to find a meaning deep inside
But found that my thoughts did not matter
I had nothing to say
That anybody needed to hear

I can think about the things around me
But none meant anything to me
I didn't want to hear the words
I thought in my own head

To be reborn within myself
I remove the lost and scared
I take away the unsure
And pave the way for my new self
To be reborn

The shame that I have felt
Has now been pushed aside
My thoughts are gaining meaning
The way I breathe is growing stronger
The things I need are different now
A new set of problems
A brand new challenge

Reborn within myself
I've killed the misguided part I held
To make room for my reborn life
Now that words are coming easy
Words that I am hearing
Are all that I'm believing
Trusting my thoughts to lead me along

The reborn is here
No longer lost
I've found my way through pain
I've beaten all the distrust
But never have I lost my meaning
It just became misplaced
But now I am reborn
