Who I Am Now Poem by Jax Ann Newton

Storms are crashing,
Waves are bashing my body against the rocks.

I wait for the end, when this darkness will end
But my hopes have been shattered again.

With a burst of light, my world turns white,
And all around me fades.

The world I knew so long ago returns,
Entrapping me with its palisades.

Passion burns deep and long,
I know that this is where I belong.

Not this place from my distant past,
But in my current role I’ve been cast.

To help the broken-hearted soar
On the wings that off of them had been torn.

-This is my calling. This is my life.-
