Metamorphosis

I have fallen deep into the abyss.
I contemplate all of the lies, secrets, and truths that I have missed. 
I have been asleep too long to feel the bliss…
It’s been a while since I’ve had a true love’s kiss. 

I’m sinking deeper into a dark place. 
I think I’ve travelled as deep as the sunken place. 
I reminisce on your warm embrace. 
But I have fallen too far, please don’t give up on me, have some grace.
I’m scared, I don’t like this place.
The paranoia, confusion, sweaty face, I don’t like this place. 
I feel like I’m in outer space, 
My heart is beating as if it’s a Mario Kart race. 
I feel disgraced…that I let my thoughts win, and become displaced. 
I’m stuck..but I’m not a coward, I will be brave and face my demons. 
I see them….I look at them dead in the eye and scream: “I don’t want to be them!” 

Transformation, I see the light. Let me come clean, 
I will put up a fight. 
I push with all my might. 
Healing, love, compassion, my eyes on the prize is all I see in sight. 
I feel the pain drain away, I feel my wings expand and realize that it will be okay. 
I see the brighter days. 
I rose from the ashes and explored a new way to spread love for all to be okay. 
I am praying for new days. 
Heal the world and let’s all pray for brighter days.
