A New Day

Light follows darkness just as day follows night
Rest not on laurels of complacency or defeat
But allow yourself to breathe in the air of change
Grow into a new understanding
Understanding others, but mostly understanding yourself
What makes you breathe?
What makes you feel alive?
Not really living…longing to wake up from an uneasy slumber
For a brief respite for the nearly wicked
Ever since we met, I can’t get you out of my mind
Every turn, every word is a sign
Even though I know you’re wicked
I can’t help myself, I’m stricken
With the madness of time around me
Stricken with the disease of the society around me
Their influence leeching into my heart and soul
…and even my personality
I live for friendship, I live for love, I live for the tender eyes of my soul mate who has yet come, yet even as I live for all these things, who will live for me?
Because no one can ever see as I do my best Claude Raines impersonation
We spend so much time hiding behind made up masks
Impersonating people we want to be instead of being who weare
Being our true selves is a higher calling than being someoneelse
Fly your flag, be a freak, geek, or spaz…and know thatyou’ll find acceptance.
