AWAKENED TO AMNESIA

Blackness faded from me as my mind began to feel,

silence slowly lifted as I found myself lying still.

I opened my eyes to a sky of dancing trees,


hearing the rhythm of my breath as it floated on a breeze.

Easing from initial shock I fell deep into confusion,

bearing witness to a monster was all but an illusion.

The truth exposed by a rapid beating of my heart,

left me fearful, lost, anxious, and alone in the dark.

Then I realized that monsters were not my only fear,

If I did not know me then no one would know I’m here.

My identity like the leaves fluttered away on the wind,

I had no where to start, and no where to begin.

Yet I breathed deep this luxury of life,

and painfully arose ready to take stride.

Seeking out what rightfully should be mine,

drawing closer to my fate and accepting what I find.

Superb blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any tips? Thanks! google mail sign in
