when I was younger,
I dreamt of a world filled with peace,
and as I got older,
I realized that meant release:
release of the pain,
the shame,
and all of the self-blame,
and the need to build
a foundation of personal beliefs.
because at the end of the day,
who's to say,
you won't push everyone away,
and be forced to rebuild yourself,
piece by piece.
