Awakening

Coming out

When all my pathways seemed unclear
I blindly strode the course
Never daring to try to hear
the voice inside that roared
always pleasing those that ask
never of self did think
never fearful of any task
no matter how near the brink
then the roar became a force
which never seemed to rest
when mirrors hid the truth no more
and my eyes never met the test
I took the leap into the faith
that lived inside my soul
and now I stand along with those
that finally make me whole
