You
Grasped my hand
Pulled me into this new world
And here I found
Something new
Different from anything I'd had before
Family
Unlike any I've had before
Problems
Larger than I will ever be
Yet
I allowed myself to sink deeper
What I wanted was knowledge
I promised myself
After I left
That I wouldn't deny myself wisdom any longer
And that I would finally be free
To search for truth
My truth
But I lived in a world of absolutes
And when it crumbled around me
I found a new one
Opposite the old
But this
This fluid path
Of choice and spirit
Balance and unity
Flowing through me like water
Like blood
Like fire
I have to find my own way this time
No more absolutes
This universe is ever-changing
I am ever-changing
It's okay
Not to know
I can keep searching
As I always have
For what will make me happiest
What makes the most sense to me
What will bring me peace
Because that's what I want
Peace
Then
When I lay down
And think of myself
As one of you
And though
Worries
Flood my mind
That maybe
I'm not what you thought
That I could be some sort of mistake
Or not powerful enough
I can also see myself
In some distant future
Maybe in another universe
Strong and confident
Commanding and fierce
Someone who knows themselves
And the world around them
Who has perfect balance
And is calmer than I could ever be
A witch I could be proud of
And I think
Maybe
One day
I'd like that
That it might be able
To finally bring me
True
Peace
