Untied

Staring into the eyes
orbs of pure darkness
seeing a reflection

deep within hides a gentle heart
lost and wandering in the soul
feeling trapped

this happens now and then
although something new awaits
a feeling of contentment

one not felt for so long
since a small child
it had been lost

a few good souls have redeemed mine
new friends and old
have found the key

unlocking the happiness
unleashing the laughter of my soul
cutting the restraints that bind

New Beginnings

New feelings arise
My heart feels renewed
a load lifted

belief that there is good
good people out there still
the world is not as bleak

once I thought it so
new friendships proved me wrong
explanations are not present

unneeded they are
life has changed for the better
things are just so good

this change in heart brings happiness
one I have not had
it's a nice feeling

to finally belong
being accepted
as a person, not just a face
