my eyes are wild
my heart is strong
my eyes are sharp
my mind is sharper

I’ve burst from the black pit
and jumped back into the world
my guns a blazing and my arms
once again pumping with adrenaline

my eyes are wild
and I’m happy to
be alive when just
moments ago I might
as well have been
dead

the rain falls but
my spirits rise

this is what I was meant to do

I was meant to burst,
not just rise from,
the black pit that
had consumed my
life (once again)

so I burst!
and burst I did!
and now I tell you I have burst
so that it doesn’t slip away
too fast
