The clutches of hatred and apathy
slowly drained my soul.
I almost lost the ability
to see beauty around me;
I almost gave up
on things that make me smile
The shards of broken promises
deeply struck my heart.
I almost choke on dark
memories of years past;
I almost drowned from
the deep abyss that is
my sorrow.
Then I started living each day
as it comes and handed reign
over my life to the angels and fairies
of lost loves.
Furtive whispers, I heard;
Let go, the voices chanted,
to which I humbly obliged.
I stretched my whole being and
threw myself to the dark recesses
of the unknown future and waited
for the big splash.
I felt nothing but a gush of sudden
realization that I am still alive despite
the lethal blows of heartaches.
My body began to gloriously tingle
from the warmth emanating
from within.
I am breathing again;
Calm and without restraint.
