Dazed Poetry

In a daze,
we forgot our power..
I forgot I never move alone
Then realized the hour is now to reclaim our history.
I forgot the chains..
So they dissolved into the irrelevance they knew was their destiny.
I witnessed ancestral light illuminating my path
And finally took those first precious steps toward freedom.
If only we all could see
The glory awaiting kings and queens tricked into self doubt.
If only I were strong enough..
I’d carry the world on my shoulders
And you in my arms until we finally reached the mountain top
In many ways I am the man I always knew I could be
But only when I forget the chains
