So inviting
Embracing the
Yearning quiet
Excelling reveries
Open up your
Palace doors glisten the broken
Calming effects
Maybe they should be
More permanent
Full circle
Back at the beginning
Flashbacks in familiar surroundings
Laughable insanity
Selfish abandon
Fortified oasis
A mirage
To good to reveal itself
Lucid in the daylight
Binding forces
No validity
When the levy brakes
The panoramic views
Expose there true stories
From my perspective
Felt more like dungeons
Classrooms made
Me claustrophobic  
Often closed me
In there crossfire
Taught the
Wrong subjects
I needed stability
Something firm to ground me
My coloring books
Needed much brighter tones
My pencil couldn’t
Stay between the lines
And the rest is
A tragic history
That should all be expunged
Conflicted as ever
Here I am
Trying to balance multiple opinions
Angel on one shoulder
The devils in my head  
Tunnel visions harsh
Stepping stones suddenly appear
Glowing like the north star
Mightily aiming in my direction
Approach with caution
Almighty redemption
Rescind the brokenness so
I can feel a bit lighter
