VOICES ON THE INSIDE

Consciousness, the reflection of my perception.
More than a feeling that’s hiding in its own meaning.
Life, a moment frozen in time, a voiceless mime.
Silent screams, wiping away tears that created fears.

An experience of hope was my deterrent to the current.
Hiding behind the black cloak of shame created the flame.
Breaking barriers of society’s label deeming me incapable,
Of turning disregard to responsibility, showing accountability.

Character faults changing with fortitude to a different attitude.
Seeing obstacles as tools, creating a vision for my passion.
Fueling the courage needed in healing, honoring, and amending.
Transforming pain and giving voice to a message of change.

Not focusing on imperfection has given me determination.
A glance into the light’s dimension needed for intervention.
Making freedom possible even in the vastness of the masses.
Forgiveness is within reach however remote, yet, our antidote.
