Years ago, my heart was aflutter
Surrounded by endless elation
For I had found a proper inspiration
In the words and actions of an angel
Yet, there was something amiss
Deep inside I knew
That was never to last long
Such a voice on life support
Was silenced, orphaned
As my world went topsy-turvy
One year went by, two even
Until the flame was once again stoked
By the will to pick my shattered pieces
One by one
For like that poet of old
I also strive to be the master of my destiny
And someday I will be the captain of my soul
