the house sparrow sings

S.M. Moore

Come and see me, my friends, and tell me who I am.
Tell me who I was then,
and tell me how I have changed.

Tell me stories of how I was gentle and welcoming,
all before I began to see the world as I do now.
Tell me stories of how I was lighthearted,
and tell me how I torture myself,
and how I am imprisoned by the way I think.

But the world I see is mine.
And how dare you tell me that I am my own enemy,
when for so many years I have been my only friend.
How dare you tell me what I must be and who I should become.
I want to be myself,
but that is difficult to achieve now.

I know that one day I will find the courage.
And I will tell the storytellers that I am not the same,
and I will tell the advice givers that I will find my own way.

Just one more day and I will do it.
Just one more week and I will tell them all.
And on that day, I will take all of you on,
and I will erupt into a supernova of my own,
and it will blind all of those who aimed to change me.
One day I will have the courage;
one day I will have the courage to be nothing but myself.
