And So There I Was (poem)
The person I once was
Died
-
The things I was taught in school
Died
-
All which society tried to cram down my throat
Died
-
All the things which held me back
From achieving the individual which couldn’t really be
Died
-
And so I blossomed
In a garden of dreamers
Fearing nothing but words
Which seemed to grow abundantly
-
And so here I was
A riddle which couldn’t be true
Maybe there are fairies
Maybe there are things we don’t understand
And don’t have to
-
And there I stood
A beacon for hearts afraid to sing
An ear who knew how to listen
A guide to an individual lost long ago
-
Do you know
That star across the ocean
That’s me
-
But when the curtain came down on the show
The bright lights gave way to the moment
Alone in his dressing room
A star learned the price of his glow
-
All we were taught
All society crammed down our throat
All which held us together
Had died
