The sudden sound of silence
My face stares back to me
Awash with views of where I am
And where I want to be
An era is now over
I’m back to where I came
A world I cannot recognise
One I must reclaim
A sense of loss and distance
In a moment of reflection
Was it something that I did?
That suffocated me in rejection
I once claimed you my equal
The left side to my right
Now my arms are heavy
With the burden of this fight
Yet inside there stirs a shield
It sticks to me like glue
Unleashed like a phoenix
A part of me so true
For this is who I am, you see
The part of me that’s hidden
The face of me you never saw
My soul once was forbidden
A gap you have left in life
Yet I don’t give a damn
For who I am is who I was
I know exactly who I am
