Finally, I can hold my head up and not look down,
Finally, I can walk without crawling or stumbling,
Finally, I can run and not trip or fall
Finally, I can bring myself to face myself and not cry
...
In her eyes, I saw her soul dance,
I saw her eyes bounce with joy,
I saw her smile, so wide,
I saw her face, happy, without pain.
...
I wondered, and pondered, what must it all mean,
I did not know if it was too late, or if i had been seen,
Like the time, when i was small, i took the nickel from the jar,
I thought for sure i had been seen, but no i was away, i was far.
...
There I sat, looking for moments,
Looking into the space,
Looking into the time,
For moments to call mine.
...
Today, I looked, and saw, and noticed.
Today, I searced, and began to seek,
That new thing.
...
I looked in her eyes and saw a loveliness, and sereneness.
I looked in her eyes and saw a loneliness, and bliss.
I saw deep within her soul, the love and the pain.
I saw deep within her soul, the hate and dispair.
...
Today, I looked, and saw, and noticed.
Today, I searced, and began to seek,
That new thing.
...
What I sought
What I thought, I wanted,
I did not, I only desired,
To touch a memory,
...
I wonder if at all,
Any of the time,
What life would be like,
Without words to rhyme.
...
When I look at your face, I see a face of purity, when i
Look in your eyes, I see eyes of innocence, when I look at
You, I see you, as you were meant to be, when you look at
Me, what do you see, do you see me as pure, do you see me as
...
Finally I
Finally, I can hold my head up and not look down,
Finally, I can walk without crawling or stumbling,
Finally, I can run and not trip or fall
Finally, I can bring myself to face myself and not cry
Finally, I look and see that all things are bright,
Finally, I look and know that I can be what i need to be,
Finally, I look and wonder, what will become of me,
Finally, I look and seek and venture into that unknown void.
Finally, I will make it a point to struggle,
Finally, I will make it a point to push,
Finally, I will make my mark in the world,
Finally, I will make my mind work for me and not others.
Finally, I see myself moving forward,
Finally, I see myself not going in reverse,
Finally, I see myself not rushing in,
Finally, I see myself not wanting out,
Finally, I see myself pulling and not pushing against myself.
