A time I remember
when I felt I was just nothing
being nothing was so poignant
yet, I survived
I was only noticed by thirsty eyes
that hindered my growth
all I wished was to run away
run away from those gorging thoughts
every milestone came and went
but I remained there, buried under my timeline
yet my ardent soul never abandoned me
raising me up from the hole I buried myself in
becoming what I could be …
enlightening my soul to dream.
