A New Beginning



When did I lose all my hope?
When did I fear to dream?
Who is this at the end of their rope?
All but gone yet still that gleam
In those eyes always shining
Looking to start redefining
What it means to be alive.
Through it all they still survive
Despite holding on to the blame
And all of that dreadful shame.
Frozen but still breathing
Just waiting to stop seething
To begin again liberated
With the darkness obliterated.
The pain inside once here
Now something not to fear.
Could this person that I see
Truly be the real me?
No longer tearing
This fog disappearing.
Beginning to feel things
Returning are my feelings.
No longer will I be numb
I know who I must become.

About this poem

Throughout my life I often have tried to find the kind of person I wish to be most and recently I was having a rather difficult time of it.
