Poem: Wake Up
By Liam
My power to forgive
Tore down those fortresses, your castles of protection.
This epiphany of ultimate strength
Is my liberation from self-destruction.
For I’ve become accustomed to being alone.
Truly, unexpectedly, the immature shattered,
The me that mattered emerged,
Perhaps a little shaky,
Perhaps a tad unsure.
I recognized the moment was mine, not yours.
“You, you,” you said,
“I’d die!”
God!!! Thanks be, for true I did.
Not what you imagined—though! No.
I discovered behind the insecurity of immaturity,
A beautiful new stranger,
Who but me!
Naked, filled with identity, truth, light & love.
In death,
Transmutation turns to transcendence.
This is beyond the insignificance of your little egotistical theater.
Grow up, brother!
Grow up, sister!
For your time of insignificance is also over.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake the heck up!
