One Day Closer

The long road ahead of me
Is difficult, but I am one step
Closer to where I want to be.
Do not try to give a bad rep
To my name because you do
Not know me. You do not know
Where I have been or who
I was before. Although
The days are slow I am one
Day closer to the person I really
Want to be. There is the sun
Shining right overhead, freely
Not thinking about the shadows
I am leaving behind. Give me grace
And a chance for a reality dose,
But let me go at my own pace.
You want to control it all because
I can see it in your eyes, but
You could never control the pause
Button. I am getting out of my own rut.
