The Return

as i raised my head

and stretched for the first time,

i realized,

the storm had passed

and all the pain had subsided,

it seemed like it took forever,

but actually,

i don't remember how long it was,

never thought i'd see this day,

at times i couldn't breathe,

there were times

when i didn't want to,

i was submerged

in the depths of misery

and left to suffocate

in the darkness,

yet i survived,

today has come,

my rebirth is official

and my strength has increased,

my resiliency has doubled,

i have overcome,

there is nothing

i can't handle,

my will is fortified,

what's next?

i am ready,

i invite the world to witness

the brand new me,

are they ready?

probably not,

but i am what you have created,

so deal with it...
