Consume shadows and be free

When life feels broken,
in everything you do,
you must consume shadows.

Eat all the darkness,
swallow your pain,
and all your boredom,
then let it fuel a rebirth.

Redemption is a decision away;
decide, and grow your new skin,
which will carry on your old scars.

Our only legacy is our scar tissue,
that we freely sport for everyone to see,
which represents all the times we’ve been hurt,
and the times we stood back up and challenged life,
unwilling to submit to our failures and broken dreams.

Never let the weight of broken dreams,
or the weight of all your indecision,
chain you to the ground.

Break free,
fly free,
be free.

Living is not about stability;
life is soaring through the sky,
circling around all your dreams,
and everything you love dearly,
but never staying chained down for long.

Don’t let your physical attachment to the earth,
translate into a metaphysical attachment for your dreams.

Be free.

  1. Stumbled across your blog when I was looking at poetry-tagged blogs. Thought this one in particular was beautiful and something that truly resounded with me tonight. Thank you for your verse and your optimism. πŸ™‚
