You found yourself
in the words which
guided you through
the challenging times
and brought you home
to this place
where thoughts are born.

the words trusted you
when you doubted yourself.
They followed you into sleep
and then ejected you
from wherever to somewhere
to become the you
that will be
forever changing.
