Breathing like a child,
For the first time,
Since the last time,
I was not unbroken.
((( Cognitive dissonance is a state which results from simultaneously holding contradictory beliefs along with their associated thoughts or behaviours. When we eliminate this conflict we return to our core state, which is not unlike our experiences in childhood; free, clear, and resolved. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance )))
Failure is my shine,
It's new to you... to you.
The boy in my mind's open.
((( Unfortunately, when you meet new people, this conflict, the cognitive dissonance often inhibits others from seeing your true shine. Though our core beliefs may be open to resolving this conflict, what presents to other people is your true personality accompanied with your existing failures to ameliorate. )))
Learning again and again.
In my prime.
Until it breaks, until it speaks, I bow my heart in silent reverence.
((( We often find ourselves examining and fixing this moral and behavioural dissention again and again. Any time in our life the perfect time to do so, and, until they return to our lives, we typically mourn their passing. )))

((( Finally, when we are able to ablate the portions of ourselves which do not belong we find ourselves feeling "cut in two", in part, recognizing that the things which we cut away have actually helped us to do so. )))
