I knew myself once…
Once, when the wind spoke to me,
And I felt the presence of my grandfather on that very wind.

When the sun's warmth against my skin,
Was all I needed to brighten my day,
And confidence had shown through saddened eyes.

If all else failed,
I would simply try again.

Those who tried to protect me only misunderstood me.
Mistakes were welcomed in my eyes.

With time I feel myself pulling away,
From the very person that is me,

The one who pushed through, despite the odds,
But now I only see myself falling.
Falling away from the person I remember.

It's strange how pulling away from something that meant the world to you,
Would change you unknowingly.

If only that same wind brought joy,
The way it once did.
Felt I needed to write something
