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.

That is an excellent poem. I think you should share it with Magpietales.blogspot.com
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
