It's pitch black here.
I smell smoke, something's burning, a fire envelops and devastates all in it's path.
I taste biterness, envy. I should have, could have, would have...
I hear desperate cries of pain, the voice Calls out, they are in agony, and I smile.
I feel hate, no obligation to help, it won't benifit me now.
I see nothing. Not even my own hand in front of my face.
And I realize- I'm my own worst enemy.
It's dim here.
I smell fresh cut grass. Greener pastures lay ahead. I walk further.
I taste the bitterness leaving. Slowly but surely, was it ever even there?
I hear my heartbeat racing. Excited with new emotions of hope, wondering what's next.
I feel the destruction and chaos moving behind me, I don't need them anymore.
I see blinding light just ahead, and It's mind for the taking.
And I realize- I want to change.
It's bright here.
I smell roses, fresh baked bread. It brings me comfort and joy.
I taste sweet milk. It's rich , creamy texture soothes my doubts and fears.
I hear voices now, they aren't yelling or screaming but singing together as one.
I feel a tear run down my face and with it, an overflow of emotions: passion, understainding, Love, and Acceptance.
I see myself. Not my flaws, but my accomplishments.
What I've done and what I can do to help.
And I realize- This is how it shoud be.
