Crossroads
A crossroad in life,
A time for change;
Of mind, body, and emotions.
Change for you, change for me,
Change for all the things I will be.
At one corner, there stands a child;
This child, nurtured from the world,
finds that there was always something holding it back;
A barrier to life,
a barrier to truth,
a barrier to overcome.
As an eagle struggling to break it's bonds,
the child breaks free and runs, never to return.
He runs from you -
runs to me,
Runs to all the things he wants to be.
To the West, there stands a teen;
A teen, who finds the world distorted,
an altered imaged from what it was
taught to believe in.
Is stranded;
Lost in the twisted morals of the world.
"Everything is different",
"This isn't what they said it was",
"Everything they taught me was wrong! "
The teen longs for acceptance,
for a place of refuge,
for people who'll understand him.
The teen is changing;
Changing from "you",
Changing into "Me",
Changing into all he will become to be.
As the teen searches, it is rejected.
An outcast among other teens,
an outsider among outsiders.
A single, lonely solitary figure;
A figure who can accomplish what others cannot -
to succeed in solitude,
to live his own life;
to escape the faces of the past:
Faces of you,
Faces of Me,
Faces of everyone I hoped to be.

By the time I realized it
