Sudden Realization
In a flashing instant, I saw the light.
I was memorized by the new beginnings,
And wonderful delights.
My heart spluttered the intoxicated dice.
I no longer felt ashamed to be me.
Doubts were lost and I knew the truth;
I fit in; I have a choice and I want to be happy.
I want to love my present, past and future.
I want to feel at ease, to feel like a complementary piece.
Society gives us rules, but those condemn us.
Society, the government and royals have no say;
They are not me, they are not you,
And we make our own way,
Our own path to pursue until there is no dismay.
Why follow an unwanted path?
Why become tortured and sad?
I want to love whatever I was meant to do,
Not struggle in pain to pursue dark,
And a pit full of null.
I cherish this light, given to me.
I was lost in a hole, I did not want.
I wanted help, I wanted to see,
And Cristal was there, to give me the spirit
I had lost in moments of shameless disease.
I thank my sister for her heart of gold,
And wisdom she seems to own.
Society has nothing on us,
For my sister, you and I make our own path,
In this life of dumb regulations.
