my past life…
I lived for the extremes..
lost and loyal to a world…
that never held the same glitter and gold as it first seemed..
a life…
where every corner holds the promise of power or unforgiving death..
anxiety, dread, panic, and fear consume every single breath…
there were elaborate parties and expensive costumes…
titles and prestige drenched every drop of their over priced perfumes….
a world…
beautiful and flawless on the outside…
a world…
cruel, cold, empty on the inside….
where I grew up in a broken boy’s fantasy…
never knew who I truly was and who I wanted to be…
this was my old world…
a fading, dying life of the past…
with not enough love and compassion to make it last…
a new world…a new era on the horizon…
one of courage, truth, growth and one to enlighten…
gone are the days of a dark and secret past…
the reign of fear has now died away and passed…
