The movement of time

Long ago. 
It was taken from you: the hopefulness, the joy. 
You became a warrior too soon. 
Different groups and still no one felt like home. 

Armor. 
To protect you from deep hurt. Deeper rage.

Alone.
Because it was safe and easy.

Lost.
In your expectation of what should be happening and what is the truth. 

Immobilized.
From how to move forward with your head up high. 

Now.
Learning to open your heart to the moment.
to the possibilities.
to the people.
