Her eyes opened from the deep sleep, She panicked... Her body was wrapped in what felt like clear plastic wrap. Trying to breathe, but she was Suffocating How long have I been walking around like this? She wasn't powerless though. Wrestling, she managed to tear the cocoon that entangled her. Gasping... she emerged out and took a deep breath in. Alive, shes alive. Stepping out of the cocoon, she smiled. Knowing she was free. She knew now she could fly. She is me and I am her. Soar my dear, you're alive. Alive.
I've been in this fog... trapped in trauma brain. Depressed and moping around. Today I feel I alive. I can't change what happened but I can take steps to create the life I want. I once was a victim, but now I'm a survivor. I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Choices... I now have choices. I choose life. I'm alive.
