My mind’s been in disarray since birth,
When do I finally get to focus on the things i was born to do and not live in fright?
Exceeding boundaries that have proved impossible for people like me,
Liberating and breaking chains that has for so long tied us down like mere beings.

The blank stares and judgmental gazes don’t trouble me,
It’s the inner critic, a man within my soul,
Examining me closely, controlling my actions,
Dictating my every move.

He lurks in the shadows, coercing me,
But I yearn to break free, to live on my own terms,
Refusing to be ruled by his harsh dictates,
Suppressing my dreams and feelings, leaving me miserable.

Yet amidst the darkness, a light emerges,
Breaking through chains that once confined.
As i gaze on this light, long overlooked in favor of the man in black,
Who sought to keep me in the dark.

I lean forward, the light grows with each gaze,
My dark mind holds light, I whisper in a daze.
Shoveled away by deceit, now I see.
Led astray, by the man in black’s guise,
But now, reclaiming light, no more lies.

He’s gone now, but his influence lingers,
But in the light, there’s nothing to fear.
I’m confident now, breaking new ground,
With my mind as my ally, strength is found.

I stand steadfast, embraced by the light,
Confident and empowered to explore new heights,
Embracing my evolving mind with love, awe, and acceptance,
Captivated by the new horizons that was once kept within.

No longer a dreaded alley, but an uncharted ship,
I embrace my mind and its intricate trip.
My mind and me, facing the world’s storms,
Unified and strong even as our journey transforms.
