Reborn Poem by Solomon Kobela

The poor fellow's heart had misled him
He was enraged
He wanted to find his peace
He wanted to regain his confidence
He wanted to be;
REBORN
He knew a world of new beginnings existed
It existed outside of his cocoon
A shell he has to shed

But how does he begin to do that
Is there a formula he can apply?
Or is there a magician who can wave his stick to break me free of this….
This shell that prohibits me to feel, care, love, respect and cherish…
How do I rid of these shackles?
To say hallo to a new life

Then Mr. Pen met with lady book
And they soon formed a union
One that is driven by thought
One that is directed by emotion
One that is witnessed by a select few
One that brought meaning and hope
One that brought self-worth and character
One that paved ways to endless smiles
One that brought joy and freedom to the heart
One that gave direction to tomorrow

And through that union
I will learn to care and love
I will learn to honor and cherish
This because I broke free
This because I am
REBORN
