The sun came down
My body adjusting to the temperature
Eyes adjusting to the darkness
Muscles adjusting to the wear of marching

I feel proud of myself
Something I typically can’t do
The day might be nearing an end
But it’s been full of surprises

I sped the way home
Watching the road turn into blotches of color
Hearing the car roar shifting into third

I didn’t feel fake
I threw away the mask
I became me-Sean
I lived my life-it was worth it
