HAMPTON RENAISSANCE

You won’t find me there
Where sadness and shame reside
I’m not there no more
I’ve tightened my grip and elongated my stride
Found my pride
And learned to hold my head up high

You won’t find me there
I’m long past that point
Found a seed
Planted it deep
And it simply can’t disappoint

I, for the first time in several months, opened the curtains
And let some light in
Turned on some music
And danced with a passion deep within

I somehow found sadness in the summertime
But my progress is not something one could undermine
I’m finding peace
With my environment
But most importantly with myself
Cause hatred takes a long time to heal
But I’ve learned that love is wealth
And love dwells
And I’ve been giving love to everybody else

So you won’t find me there
Where the jealousy and despair ring true
I found myself a new home
And a new joy to pursue
