There is a dawning
within my soul
A ray of light or
perhaps the last sliver of hope
A beacon of truth, who
has fought its way through,
From youthful days past
and decades over due
A dawn where mine eyes
can see
Acknowledging all the
prejudices I hold
For all those years, the
burden inside of me
The blindness of my soul
The learning’s and
beliefs engraved
All the falseness’s I
detested yet believed
All the lies, all the
evils I would take to my grave
The hatred and all the
wrongs given to me
Refusing to proclaim,
admit or even see
Knowing all those years
the perpetrator was me
Too young to see, too
blind to know
Too weak to speak mine
own beliefs
Yet I always knew the
truth from the deceit
I held my blindness
close; refusing to let go
I willingly surrendered
to the blindness,
The lies, the blindness
of my own soul
I believed what I saw in
front of me
Not what I knew within
myself to be true
Believed in others words
and not their deeds
All those years, this
blindness harbored inside of me
I hope that I, before
growing past my knowing years
Can cure this blindness
of my soul, this disease
Can close mine eyes and begin to see
The dawning of a
righteous and noble man
The man, my soul, my
conscious
And my God would have me
be
