The lustful gleaming of the ocean sky,
Keeps me walking in a nice delight.
I am high on the river top,
Like a kite trying to dress up the light.
My fears, dreads, and tears,
Are washed away so tremendously,
That my hearts begins to beat with frequency.
I am no longer the naïve, too scared to live child,
That enveloped me into a cradle of sheets.
My freedom came about,
And my life has just rose to a shout.
The people that I find,
No longer frighten me,
Because I am changed, positively.
No longer do I hide inside my windows, you see.
I ride on to the risks that were forbidden to me.
I conquered my rules I made,
And find that connection is key to fate.
Black and white, was so last year;
I am now a full blown rainbow who dares,
To be strong, intelligent, and keen.
For my confidence is finally in place,
Where it should have been years ago.
I know I can, and I know I will,
Be the shining star, I didn’t know to be.
