All

In the shower, a man stands tall

Water falling, he hears it's call

Dripping down, onto his skin

He feels alive, from deep within

His muscles ache, from too much rest

But in this moment, he is truly blessed

For he knows why, they feel so sore

It's time to break free, and do more

To bring fire, to the wind that blows

And finally let his true self show

No more wasted youth, on bars and clubs

He found peace, in the plain field of Illinois

But now he's back, where it all began

In the city life, where he used to stand

But this time, he's not the same

He's free from demons, that once had him tamed

No more taunting, or hideousness

He's found his inner peace, and its endlessness

A purpose, a strength, a resilience true

This is how it's got to be, to be you

So let the water, wash away

The past turmoil, of yesterday

For in this moment, he stands tall

Witty, formal, stylish, and all
