Awake

My heart awakened
To the dream
Before I could recall it
And within began to seem
As though a lad befallen
With the new sun of a day
In which he's free
And come what may,
Forever true to himself he remains.

Thus now awakened
Ne'er to sleep,
I can not still its pounding beat
Upon the walls I've placed it in,
Demanding that it be allowed
To walk again
Amongst the proud,
Unshackled and unhindered by
The fears of she it lives inside.
