Enlightenment...
Written By: Poetic X-Pressionz
What was once my beginning... Is now where I'll end...
and what is now my ending... Will be how I begin...
A half-century has past & I'm still here...
My mind is fully opened... no regrets, no fears.
This is what I call my enlightenment years.
Stripped from my innocence from an early start...
Had to fight my way back... To find my heart.
It's taken a lifetime to feel, life's passions and joys...
Finally... Escaping a childhood of hurt and endless woes.
But still I have no regrets... no fears...
Now I realize these were my enlightenment years.
With the passing of time... Came the acceptance of life.
It's taken a lifetime of humility, anguish, & strife...
To help and ease my strenuous plight.
My life is no longer an untold mystery...
I'm happy... content... and Free To Be Me".
There has been no regrets... and definitely no fears...
I've come face-to-face... with my enlightenment years.
Now I'm back at the beginning of my story... I'll make it perfectly clear...
My prayers have maintained me... And God has substained me....
These things I will cherish throughout the remainder of my life.
I no longer have room for anger, hurt or strife...
Yes... These have truly been... My enlightenment years.
