Who I was
Who I could have been
Who I am
Questions that remain in balance
Acceptance that retains questions
Ideas that could have corrupted
In one direction I see wealth and power
And the benefits derived thereof
In another I see hatred, pain and rejection
A man who scorns the world
One who treats others as lesser
The path I chose was, is a risk
But it was one illuminated by love
In choosing it I abandoned much
Aspirations of greatness
Belief in my exceptionality
In exchange I gained little
Without monetary value
Love, acceptance, kindness
And yet if I could go back
I would do it again
Wade through the waves
Of depression, of loss
All to find you
To find me
