I am from an ocean of unshed tears,
From empty lies and fake smiles,
From days I no longer remember,
But stories I won't forget.
I am from unspoken words,
From times I was a shadow,
From talents that remained concealed.
I am from not asking why,
From keeping thoughts locked in a cage,
From waiting for the day
Someone asks for the key.
I am from an unclear path,
From not knowing where the next step would take me,
Yet knowing it was guiding me in the right direction.
From being led towards a new beginning.
I an from a love for the cosmos,
From a mind that isn't afraid to wander,
From a smile that never fails.
I am from not crying at the saddest of films,
From losing myself in my thoughts,
From understanding life isn't perfect,
From a past that no longer haunts.
