It was a moment that went unnoticed,
I thought that I was just living;
inside, thoughts were being processed,
imagining that I could be forgiving;

Time became a great pretender,
to forget was an impossible aim;
teaching me that this offender
tried their best to hide their shame;

I tumbled on in a desperate air,
into the future, I was falling;
ideas left me in a difficult care,
insistent on a decisive calling;

So it was that I became
stuck along with my liberation;
someone new, yet still the same,
struggling towards my transformation.
