so you tasted bitter tears -
and  a sharp blade in you
scars of disappointment
won't easily be gone
so you toughen up and make a stand
grown a thick skin and a six inch shell
now you feel protected -
on your own domain

and the man you grown to be
a soul of poet on a foreign land
and you feel by the end of day
back on your tank of water
and the life you chose to live
a fish on land and a bird at sea
soon you'll fly again
with the changing seasons

now changes are in the air
you no longer fell afraid
you discovered a new found land
get into your self again
a process in the making

And when walls come down
you cease to see the monsters
and the beast at the tunnel's end
turned out to be a pet
and the life you chose to change -
on the verge of extinction
you no longer feel away
from your mother earth
