Explanation~Transformation

Barely scraping by 
arms to my side 

FIRM

Shoulder to shoulder 
confined within the edges 

TRAPPED 

Within this life 
within these problems 

CAPTIVE 

To worldly temptations 
battling my self-worth 

WAR

Values disarrayed 
confidence shattered 

CONFUSED 

Power in faith 
strength in love 

SUPPORT

Lost love 
faith unfamiliar 

ALONE 

By myself 
for the first time 

CHANGE 

Poetry came along 
after a long distance 

TIME

Providing an avenue 
allowing a healthy vice 

ART

No longer alone 
with my feelings 

ESCAPED 

Forever learning about myself 
through my own words 

EDUCATION 

Words forever kept 
and some far to long 

GONE

Bad memories, dark tales 
past trauma, a bitter heart 

FORGIVEN 

The cause of myself 
the cause of who I was 

MINDSET 

Others can affect us 
and they did to me 

REALITY 

However the most important 
lesson poetry has taught me 

TRUTHFULLY 

It doesn’t mean they can 
control my feelings 

ANYMORE 

When you are of sound mind 
when you are of a good heart 

GENUINE 

When you wear your heart on your sleeve and actually care 

COMPASSION 

You will attract the energy you strive to become 

MAGNET 

We must save ourselves before we can save someone else 

FACT

We must love ourselves before we can love someone else 

FACT

We must want to be saved and loved to become both 

FACT

Faith is calling my name as it’s weighing heavy on my heart 

BELIEVING 

This life makes no sense without there being something 

MORE

Thoughts of why I have been so unconvinced or scared 

QUESTIONS? 

As a broken person I had no foundation to build from 

Weak

I felt undeserving and like a hypocrite knowing my sins 

PATHETIC 

Afraid of knowing what’s right but going against his word 

GOD

Bitter from a childhood past that wasn’t his fault nor mine 

ANGRY 

That’s the only way to explain the way I treated us both 

BADLY 

That explains why my relationships always failed 

HURT 

In life most things are self-inflicted, but we must find the 

CAUSE 

Poetry saved me, poetry taught me , poetry shined the light 

BRIGHT 

To what it was that caused this, to the importance of love 

HAPPINESS 

For better or worse poetry never escaped me 

LOYAL 

The truth is a poet will never be alone unless they want to be 

REALIZATION 

It’s in our hearts, it’s in our minds, our souls and gives purpose 

FULFILLMENT 

My words aren’t combined letters but rather released 

EMOTIONS 

I write with rawness, the ink my blood, my pain becomes yours 

EXPOSED 

My happiness and self-growth also equally transferred 

NOW 

But who I was, I wish on no one nor those feelings 

EVER

It was a necessary journey but one I’m glad has transformed 

GONE 

So my deepest apologies to anyone that felt left in the dark 

SORRY
