In the Shadows

A few years back.

I was afraid.

I had everything and every emotion.

And sadly I blamed me.

Hospital.

Tears.

Breathing

. Praying.

Belief in everything that could be.

Darkness took over.

It still does.

When it dies,

I remember

My family.

My friends.

My creativity.

My empathy for a better world

I doesn’t make it better

It’s driving and deciding to live.
