Ten Year Hiatus

A ten year hiatus into the dark 
I used to live beside Nutgrove Park
In the years when I studied the earth
And designed to help to ease the hurt
And Tessa and Jen were really great friends
They never seemed to notice my split ends
And I think of them now and then
And wish I could be back in that place again
Where freedom knew my name and played its part
And I rediscovered that I’m all heart
In the meadows as the heat unfurl
And I am just a normal girl
With a dream of the sky
And I don’t know why
I keep seeing a new born day
Where everything is okay
Where the pain all goes away
And the peace comes to stay
But I went off my meds or at least I tried
They came back to me in the times I cried
And my cheeks are stained from the tears that dried
And I dunno or so I sighed
And the unforgiven grows in me
Is there something I don’t see
In all this morass
I was the best in class
But I never seemed able to make come true
The dream I have of me and you
And my spirit soars when I hear the truth
Stand up like the beauty of youth
And maybe someday I’ll get to be
Someone who will make history
With her eyes
Seeing through the lies
Into a refrain
Where there is no gain
Only love in all its glory
The past is only part of the story
And shattered glass can’t be remade
But you can melt it down and it’s saved
Like all of us will come to see
The liberation of dignity
As we release and rely
Though we don’t know why
And it’s been years since I felt whole
Where everything uttered itself to my soul
In wilderness
But who do I address
If I say I want it back
Instead of these shelves I stack
How do I reverberate
And find myself back in that state
Where all is one
We are all just issuances of the sun
And I was fearless in those days
All I don’t care what anyone says
As I grow up and mature
The evidence of the pure
