Sweet on my tongue, is the word. Euphoria an understatement. I can see again. I can breathe again. I can feel the fire again. Soulless no longer.
I can hear the stars twinkling I dream of the power of the human brain, And I feel excited. I feel excited to live, and to learn. I am eager for life! More! I want more!
It's like waking up from a bad dream. Like the earthquake has subsided. The volcanic eruption, catastrophic for being dormant for so long, So devastating. But with lava comes new ground, I stand, on new ground.
Pure new beginning. I've waited all my life for this. A chance. A chance to live.
I yearned for life. I dreamed of a silent heart. I stumbled and stumbled and fell down. I fell. Deep inside the darkest corners of my mind, I gave up. I gave up on fighting And that was tragically beautiful.
Sharp was the thought of insanity. The cold silver claw thrilling, intoxicating. The dullness in my eyes, frightening. I feared for my future.
And so I said "help me". And she saved me. When I wanted to drown with intention. My mind said One last stretch till you reach the shore. Keep fighting just a little longer. And I saved me. Thank you.
Welcome whispers life, welcome. On this new frontier the possibilities, a vast and chaotic ocean. How fascinating this thing of life. How exciting.
I wrote this coming out of a depressive episode going into a mania, However, It was representative of the new era of life I was entering. A time after my abuser. An era of growth and advancement and new found self love. an era of peace, of a silent heart.
