Shift

The tectonic plates deep inside of me were incrementally shifting 
Setting up the landscape of my mature mind 
To drift further and further apart from my young one
I wouldn't reach it yet 
I was still mangled in natural disasters of the ego - anger, pride, insecurity 
The vines of which wrapped around 
Me tight 
A chokehold that I could no longer feel
Because I was so used to it 
So used to being in a bind 
I'd have to go around the world of experiences I was meant to have 
Only to return to a renewed land of
Unprecedented peace 
No natural disasters 
No mental wars
A paradise of growth and acceptance.
