Who You Are

Is who you're meant to be

By Chris SantiagoPublished 6 months ago 1 min read
You never need to be anything different than who you are inside (Part of the Redeemer Series)

Be who you were meant to be

Because she is perfect to me

There's nothing more I need

Than this moment and for you to see

That you've set me utterly free

For me to be this happy

This cold heart begins to beat

I know this can and will never be

But that brings me no worries

because in this field I can finally breath

The blooms around me so bright

As my heart and soul take flight

This moment Ill hold each night

Knowing the end is in sight

Ill tread toward it feet alight

Hoping that in this fleeting time

My gift back brings a smile

About the Creator

Chris Santiago

I've always found a bit peace and release in putting word to written medium. I'm by no means an accomplished wordsmith but I find enjoyment in it. My love for writing started from world building that being a dungeon master provided.
