I took something out

From inside of me,

Displayed it there

For all to see:

A reinvention of myself

In an unrecognisable form;

A re-evaluation of the

Perceived social norm

It became a construct

Of my own imagination,

As I fell in love

And discovered what lay

Underneath its foundation:

Purpose, identity, life and truth;

Until I dug further and uncovered myself at the root.

I sought to look no further but

Understand that the change had been disguised;

Now I am its embodiment, revealed before naked eyes.

My lover was my muse, my soul’s purpose

And reason to live:

She gave me an understanding

Of the love that I could give

And so I went forth,

Changed by knowledge and truth,

Believing that this incredible discovery

Has not been of vain self-pursuit.
