shades of 25

Reaching out with the spirit
& the powers that be

I must express
what a glorious thing
being part of the seed
The gratitude within
uplifts me from my seat

Just shy of 25
with my feet proudly underneath
maybe bent, but never broken
though forever incomplete
I’m a growing man
with passions that have hurt me
more than they’ve healed me

I’m flawed, scarred
& I’m far from perfect
yes, farther than you think
yet, so far still worth it
so each week I’m putting work in
securing more of that feeling of free

Many don’t know, and it shows —
In the pain, there’s a lesson
to help temper your peace.
