After
I feel my heart beating again
The world is collapsing
There's no way out but drown
Until I realized there is an up to this down
I feel something changing,
Something writhing
It's my soul black and dead
Ignited anew by a flame instead
Changing as I change
Feeling as I feel
I am no longer the leaf
Destined to fall
There is purpose to my growth
Reason to my being
I am one of many sisters, brothers
Surrounded by others
Not held down
But kept up
They are not the similar current
So I accept something different
I am the sun
Ready to shine
Upon the leaves
That kept me so safe
A follow up to before. I can never thank my friends enough for the love and reason they bring to my life.
