An encounter with self

You have locked your thoughts in your head for a long time,
You have not let your hair down in a long time.
Long time you have not let your wings spread and taken a flight to remember,
Long time you have not painted the town red and danced to the music in your heart.

Each step you have taken, you have wondered and wondered,
Each thought you have had, you have frowned and then killed.
Long time you have not walked on the waves and sang to yourself,
Long time you have not worn your heart out and taken pride in it.

People and things happen for a reason,
Few people come into your lives to just remove the debris, to make you alive again.
You find yourself and you know how your mind looks in the dark and in light,
You realize that life is made of people and their little details.

Yesterday you would have avoided your mind cause you were frightened,
Yesterday you would have pushed your words cause you cared too much.
Today, you have a self which has a mind of its own,
Today, you are not afraid because you have finally found yourself.
