The New Me Poem by Joshua Hillard

Let's begin the hatred,
Fuel the fire for room to grow,
I'm expanding out of this new world,
An explicit scene too rude to show,

I'm old news,
But new news,
The old me to new me,
A controversy I cannot choose,

Pick and choose for you to feel,
But why should I have ever cared?
You will see, the new likes of me,
As I hold two fingers to the air,

Never something you would think,
Should have never closed your eyes,
As that sun began its day,
Here I am under newer skies,

I walk each step with these shoes,
Imprints left, I call impacts,
So let the hatred grow in strength,
Rage these battles and forward attacks,

Strike each wound as if your own,
Inflict your pain to cause a death,
You must have woke up not knowing,
That now we begin Generation Rx,

You'll never understand who I am,
The fire growing all these years,
Even your words give me strength,
Immunity to life with all these tears,

No more now as I am anew,
I'm dried to the core within this heart,
For every morning begins a new dawn,
And as a new man, I begin my start.
