Senses

Journeys are rollercoasters.

Hear me

And the words I need to say

Silenced by the things I used to do.

See me

For what I can achieve

The lives I can change by being me

Feel me

For the knowledge, I can depart

To teach those who are breaking through.

Taste me

The footsteps that I’ve paced

The paths I have mastered and left behind.

Smell me

The age that comes with time

The flowers from worlds I’ve visited.

For now, I am here I can look back

To view the life I had and see that

I can try to see

What I could be

Knowing that I have made it

Was it what I wanted?

Well, no.

Was it where I headed?

Hell, no.

But I am here now

Regrets in tow

Wanting to break it

So, I have decided to run free

Move away to make a new me

To the road ahead

Forget what I said

And change, to make a life I lead

Not one I bleed and bleed;

Trying to find

What is on my mind

Thinking I can fly.

So I can be my senses

Bring down all my fences

No more stops

No more drops

Finally time for me

To build the brand new me.
