Is What You Believe True?

Once I was a #Princess now I'm a #Queen 👑

There once was an Angel,
Struggling more each day.
Difficulties daily,
Especially to pray.

Problems all beginning,
By refusing to sing.
Denying a reason,
But broke part of one wing.

Throughout an existence,
Forever being told.
"Protect both wings always,
Carefully unfold."

Confusion never faced,
Feelings of inner strife.
Knowledge was conflicting,
Based on teachings in life.

"Wings are two perfect gifts,
Defining who you are.
When wing is imperfect,
Failed, lost light like a star."

Thinking every moment,
"Did my mind believe wrong?
Such harmonious sounds,
In tune with each song?"

Focused on solutions,
Bring worry to an end.
Pondered roots of faith,
Now could not comprehend.

Left home seeking for truth,
Searched, studied, learned, plus grew.
Developing knowledge,
 Foundationally true.

Dawn discovered wisdom,
Information adored.
Returned after journey,
With self-esteem restored.

Anticipated trials,
Heart's desire to teach.
Any who would listen,
Beyond her voice's reach.

Hateful sounds of whispers,
Yet fiercely pushed through crowds.
Sensed her heart smile brightly,
Lacked dimness from dark clouds.

Strutted in stadium,
Feeling nervous but proud.
Prepared hearing their words, 
"This should not be allowed."

Shouting, "Impossible,"
Envious judging brains!
"She glows and is shining,
No evidence of pains?"

Educational lies,
Superstitions were told.
Singing sweet melodies,
 Just one wing to unfold.

Overcoming issues,
Helped Angels as they grew.
Dawn's experience proved,
Facts elders never knew.

She taught learn by asking,
Explore questions with man.
Gain insight together,
To better understand.

When did ideas begin,
Belief of thoughts we do?
 Be prepared to answer,
"Is what you believe true?"

Support #Veterans listen Click to hear "Something Different," on Audiomack.com by Leslie "Duke" Sherman +Leslie Sherman Papa! He granted me honor of writing the foreword to his first published book, "A Soldier's Thoughts." A work of art filled with poems and short stories, including "Something Different," written about me @1cryingeye aka Dawn SOWL. Fortunately, "A Soldier's Thoughts" was blessed to have five poems become music, "A Soldier's Melodies," by Kev Atomic of Atomic Honey. During October 5, 2013 week via SRN's Top 25 Countdown songs on SRrocks.com, "Something Different" made only official Classic Rock chart, at that time.

Prince Is My Star

☆ Prince Forever ☆

An awesome sowl,
Humble indeed. 
It's no one's fault,
But other greed.

Always there,
Direct from start.
Never taking,
Doing your part.

Performer friend,
Lending an ear.
Difficult talks,
Wishing to hear.

Loving purple,
Know where you are,
Technically still,
Prince is my Star.
