BACK TO SCHOOL

BACK TO SCHOOL

To triumph, I now ought to trudge that path

That would me with contentment flood,

For, to overcome and survive the aftermath

I need to discover how to stem the blood;

When slowly all those layers unfold and roll

A pupil new and embracing will I become,

Discard those emotions swathing my soul

Stifling it, and making it to pain succumb;

So I rise again and listen to my heart’s call

To become like a child, pure, gay and free,

Abandon all that anguish that makes me fall

Be ready to imbibe and someday see victory.

If the lesson of loving myself I would never learn

Would I ever qualify for being another’s loved one.
