By Amanda Dobby
I kept asking someone to explain
Why I have experienced all this pain
I would feel this constant drain
Like I was going against the grain
I realized the answer was in my brain
A new side is slowly taking reign
I need to dance naked in the rain
Learn how to be wild and free again
Realize I was always sane
Bear my soul so demons are slain
So many things I can attain
So much inside I shouldn’t contain
If I start to campaign
Reaching out to those who want to break the chain
Convince others to Leave behind all the mundane
Understand our dreams aren’t insane
Teach others that all these parts of us society thinks profane
From our suffering they always gain
While we struggle with shame
Broken spirits become what remains
Everyone can again regain
All the lost parts of us we can reclaim
Our true selves we should not restrain
If we can retrain our brains magic is all that remains
It was always ours to claim
Power is all around us that can sustain
Amanda Dobby has recently undertaken a spiritual quest of awakening, awareness, acceptance, and reconnection. One the universe attempted to kick start, and foster several times throughout her short life so far, and continues to guide today. She is a free spirit, a lover of words, a wanderer, and a seeker of all things once thought lost. As an aspiring writer, poet and artist, Amanda hopes that through her own struggles, she may raise awareness. Helping to strip away stigmas, stereotypes, and separation, and inspire others to transcend their own personal limits. She has finally realized how broken we all are, how beautiful that really is, and that acceptance of our brokenness, is exactly what makes us whole.
