Coming Forth

I was born the day

I thought:

What is?

What was?

And

What if?

I was transformed the day

My ego shattered,

And all the superficial, material

Things that mattered

To me before,

Suddenly ceased

To matter.

I really came into being

The day I no longer cared about

What the world thought of me,

Only on my thoughts for

Changing the world.”
