To create a stir took many years
From a bashful youth to a chattering box
From sheltering in shadows and shrinking from conflict
To a contrary escapee from society's herd
Reticence washed away by bitter experience
The silent voice erupted from it's inner sanctum
Suppressed thoughts, ideas, creativity and vision
Found oxygen to breathe, to grow, to articulate
The faces of friends ever-changing
A list of jobs never-ending
Relationship troubles and fateful decisions
Reaching an epiphany on his path through life
From careless to carefree
Abandoning his reluctance to express his mind
A divisive, complex, unpredictable individual
He no longer tows lines, he writes them
