Memory Box

So come and get yours; Relearn your worth

Crossing through these planes of change

Somehow, home feels so estranged

To all of you, enduring liminal pains

Keep no grief of leaving a negative space

You are not this shackled, morose ghost

You are surrounded by those that love you most

Their words will never change your truth

Their contempt, your absolution

Photographs remain the same, moments they surely change

That was someone, that was something of which you've moved away

So let the falsehood fade

So take your turn; New landscapes to learn

A dirtier lens to reflect through

Refracting every part of you

Never certain of where the current flows

But you know yourself, now let it show

You are not your past

What we don't outlive, our love will outlast

No breaking done for what has broken

No noise sings louder than a truth spoken

My body may be defiled; But my spirit, no less recognized
