A New Person

I had stumbled and fallen Into the pit of despair With total darkness all around me Unable to see the guiding light Breaking into a cold sweat I was unable to move Thought processes had ceased Paralyzing fear Time had calmly eased the pain Stopping for introspection I had done some damn serious soul searching Rising to unexpected aspirations Recognizing that I was unique and lovable I was able to change my philosophy of life Now I saw beauty where once there was ugliness And hope where once there existed only despair I opened up and became vulnerable In giving sharing receiving I was shown caring and such love God has inspired me for life
