Finding My Way

Finding my way,
To being someone else,
Someone different,
Than I thought myself to be.
A voice inside,
Crying to get out,
Waiting for a chance,
To be.
I thought I knew me,
But these eyes see through,
To who I truly am,
Inside.
No matter the lie,
The I slips on by,
Unconvinced by anything less than,
Truth.
I'm finding my way back,
To the I,
That has always been,
Within.
This craving consumes me,
Now I can see into me,
To all that's been and truly begin,
To live.
What I am grows through me,
It overcomes all I thought I could be,
And pushes me to begin,
Again.
I'm finding my way,
Maybe I'll realize today,
The Self I'm becoming,
Lives.

Raw

What is this,
Raw feeling coming out of me.
Thick red blood,
Moves through my veins.
The sensuous life,
Pulls my body along.
Open like a wound,
Still healing.
Death tastes bitter,
But life turns it to sugar.
So sweet to the tongue,
I had to chance another taste.
Falling out of grace,
To land in paradise.
My own true nature,
Overcomes me.
This feeling,
So raw.
