Back alive

i choose the vibrancy in it...

always thought my darts were stuck at the same point

always shirked to force them centralize

after wandering through many seasonal floods

now my ghosts finally turned back alive

and now i say

let go of whats already gone, ceased and forgotten

'cause i wanna bloom gracefully 

right through the dead and buried grounds

let it rain over my pastels, so

i'd use them draw rainbows in the lifeless cloudy sky

now i got no terror to breath, and i say

i'm ready to grow more

and this time if i get jostled towards the sidewalk

i'll build my own freaking shore

ahaha i love the chutzpah in your closing! introspection and seeking can lead us to all kinds of places of self discovery .. and this one, in your poem, of letting go of the past, of negative thoughts and feelings that may accompany those memories .. turning instead to the here and now with faith and trust. Faith in knowing everything will be ok .. and comfort in the emotional trusting that melts away our terrors .. gives bloom to hope and courage .. love your poem .. i got into it for sure. .. syntax is a bit rough here and there but perhaps you meant it that way .. many writers do .. Merry Christmas Grace!

A poem that brings change. A poem that focuses on the future ahead, instead of the past. A poem of personal growth. Well conveyed grace.
