I got lost for a million years, Sucked into a darkness that enveloped my skin and the very air I breathed. It held me underwater and pretended to be my friend, Soothing me with more sickness, Layering on more fear until I thought we had become one. We moved as this sick unit until a piece broke off and I saw there was another way, I held my breath as I stared into this empty space of light. I listened as the angels told me it was time to go. It was my first knowing, My first moment when my body resonated with this truth and I knew there was no turning back. I was lost in a black abyss that only light could find. Only light could wait patiently for me to turn around, Once I did they all rushed in and guided me out of a self-made hell. A hell I thought I was born in or one that had been created as a punishment for not doing or being enough. More lies that I had created that kept me stagnant, Kept me biting off a less than average life in a world of mediocrity. My heart told me there was something more to be found. An inner force called love pulled me up and pushed me out the door, To find something better; to know something better And so I did. I found the light within and without.
