Idle Words Forsake Me

I used to be someone else.

Didn't we all?

But now... Now I've been exposed,

I've been changed, twisted, unfurled.

Is this my identity or just another phase?

New friends, new music, new clothes.

But being this person connects me.

It connects me to all the incredible, painful, 

energizing, most wonderful moments in my life.

Finding this person... maybe me,

This could be the most important time of my existence.

The most confusing.

The most inspiring.

The most heart-wrenching.

The most sacrificing.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
