I enter this world, side stepping a serial killer
I struggle with breathing, blindness, & hearing
My mother was so hollow, my imagination had to fill her
The fire inside me consumed my experience eternally
I faced shadows that stalked my childhood in dreams
I was caged like a demon, held as a slave
I made a life where nothing was what it seems
I couldn't hear, so I made up my own means of talking
Poetry was born in my heart, upon reflecting on death
The sun of this universe shines in my walking
So brilliant I thought I'd never feel in my breast
I died so many times, I finally found true self
Coupled with a neurotic twitch that compels me to help
I fathered a daughter like the shadows of old
The way Mother Earth coddles alien gold
I am elusive as an elegant alley cat, strutting through the filth
Static motion, unable to be stilled
I swam like a dolphin through toxic waters
And faced I'm so weak, I wished I forgot her
But the sun of my life, blazing, is the feeling I have always sought her
What I've suffered has forged an overman, I am still getting to know
Like a farmer's first harvest, grown from the seed he had to sow
I am a vaporous mist, as thick as a Celtic fog's pall
My mind moves like space trapped in a diligent crawl
My feeling are verses in the most sacred & ancient book, ever compiled
But my literacy skills were perfected for denial
Still, my radiant sun has illuminated every piece of my world
My most prize possession, I wish to give to the woman, I left as a girl
And not even time can contain how this narrative will unfurl
