Fixing Toys and Fighting Monsters

Fixing Toys and Fighting Monsters

Funny how a line about a fictional character and the end of his run 

can be such an impact to reflect on my past. 

The last regeneration I saw the start of a new relationship 

A new life

New Friends 

Everything was new. 

I was taking the steps to evolve from the boy I left home as 

to the man that I am now 

I laugh at the good times 

the bad times

and the purely ugly times 

that my past self had to face. 

As the chin and bow tie glow into new eyes in the TARDIS 

I realize that the Eleventh Hour was mirroring my own life 

in a twist of inspirational understanding. 

I discovered in the ending of a relationship my own box 

that even Pandora would be fearful to open. 

Leading me to see the cracks that even my own monsters 

feared for they knew it would bring not just their own ending 

but my own. 

My own silence. 

Which would mean the end of everything. 

How I lost love and refused to interfere 

hiding on a cloud of nothingness as my heart grew cold 

and a girl came stumbling in 

an impossible girl 

Brought me back down and she confronted 

The Man she Knew from way back when 

The Man who Committed an Act of Extinction 

The Man who grew cold and did his best to forget 

And in that meeting, she brought out the hope 

She helped show this new man who he is

and something that he never he knew 

He finally had a destination. 

And with new eyes 

that have no idea what to do next 

I take my first steps 

at being a brand new me.
