calling myself home

inside me are all the secrets i seek

written inside my eyelids
on the curves of my hips 
and the grooves of my fingertips

deep within me lie the answers
to questions i have been pondering since i was six
about nature, god and the universe


slowly as time has passed
they have presented themselves
and i have voiced them out loud
in attempt to make them more real

because something inside me
wants to doubt it
something made of shadows and darkness
wants me to believe
its just foolish to think


you have everything you need within

but a stronger pull tells me otherwise


it reminds me it has been with me since i can remember
guiding me towards those questions and answers
lighting my way
when i had forgotten
i in fact had the light all along


shadows fading in the light shining out from within


it has always been me.

i have the answers
i know the secrets
i am full
of love n’ light

it had always been me
calling myself home.
