Something Entirely New

To a future where I may find peace

one lacking of counterfeit smiles replaced by the joys

of finally embracing one's true self

where wandering eyes no longer linger

because they too are in harmony

I can only pray you exist

To a future where I may find love

one marked not by the cherry coated letters

of the misconception so many believe

where instead love is measured by compromise

because maybe that is what it truly is

I can only hope I might find you

To a future where I may find acceptance

one without persisting doubt and the failure

of never reaching one's true potential

where chins are lifted high with pride

because they've finally found confidence

I can only plead that I listen to you

To a future where I may find happiness

one where I scale these colossal walls

of my own fear and stupidity

where I finally reach the other side

because maybe this is who I truly am

I will someday create you
