A Long While

 It's been a while.

After constantly being doused with water, time and time again, I finally woke up from my slumber.

My vision is now clear and my feet touch the ground,

I've been through a lot since the last time we spoke.

Yet, not enough.

I liked another boy, but this time I poured my whole heart into him.

But just as sudden as those feelings came, they quickly left in a similar manner.

And I soon found myself at the door of a grand mansion

I now wander its halls with my head held high,

Unsure of what is going to come next, yet I still walk by.

I walk with the desire of shedding my old skin,

For becoming the new me is all I intend.
