Awakened

Awakened

A Poem by Brittany Henson

The young children scream innocence
wonder flows through their tiny veins
curiosity projects through the virgin eyes
full of imagination, free as we all wish to be

thriving for acceptance reoccurs as we grow
sharing new lies with one another daily
programmed to be the same
originality has fled from our existence 

deeply looking into the eyes of the stars
they whisper there is so much more-
i strive to break free from these chains of society
take me back to my original state

i see you all living on one strict idea
blinded by belief with no realization 
like a child i look around with my awakened eyes-
its much more peaceful this way

If you can learn to listen to the stars
they will never take you astray
they quietly mourn for you to see
the true beauty hid behind the mask of our universe
