There was once a man
Happy and whole
Although frail of body
He had an iron will
...
And as the ebony clouds part
Sunlit rays of pure gold kiss the landscape
...
With nary a look
With naught but a turn of the head
...
Strength flooded into me
Adrenaline flowed through my veins
My legs moved of their own accord
I broke free of the anchor keeping me bound
...
I'm moving forward
Trying to let go of my past
Hope is taking a hold
But I don't know if it will last
...
The fissure closes
Pain's agents retreat
The skies part for a beam
The ground reclaims its place beneath my feet
...
