Realizations
Turning away amidst the calls from mother nature
Unchaining myself from my past adventure
Learning how listening to oneself is what is necessary
And to heed to others who’s trust in is worthy
Somewhat singular in the world where I live in
Even though it isn’t solitude that which I have given
Yet perhaps I do not know what I am receiving
Unaware of the gold that the others are offering
As I look across the ocean for yet another answer
I see the scars on my hands that the chains left on
Perhaps it is time I go back to where I came from
Somewhere amongst others, a home and not a cellar
As my mind races to hold on to my last memory
