A Poem by TJ
Starting
The moment was here
It was time
It was what I had been praying for
Starting
You Know
That moment of realization
That moment of feeling the mission
That moment of discovery
That decisive moment
Starting
I sat there crying
Trying to find my way through
The wonderful life that I was born to live
That moment that would provide some type of satisfaction within
Some reason for my existence
I had always wondered WHY
Why was I born?
What was I put here to do?
On the other hand, was I supposed to just exist and drift
through life and die?
This was not satisfying to me
Life was too hard
Starting
I had finally found my mission in life
This is where my mission had to be
Something that would release that expressive part of me
I started writing
Just as I am doing today
​
Starting
​
That personal human revolution
This encompasses going back to when I was a child
and embracing everything that life has had to offer
​
Starting
It was time to stop lying to the true me,
So, I could get to the real me
Starting at point A
Maybe I might make it to point B
I cried for days
As I reflected on these memories
But I had to do the Human Revolution in me
Starting
Was one of the hardest things to do
Now looking back, it was just a balancing act
Balancing life and making me do what I do
