The happening takes you by surprise. It almost shatters your soul. You lose your appetite. Ignore stomach rumblings, until your stomach deflates. You stay indoors for days on end. A darkened room. Blackout curtains. One morning, The sun streams through an open crack suddenly you remember how being at one with nature healed you once before. Now outside, your legs break free Step after step, your lungs fill with air. Running for a better tomorrow Soaked in tranquillity. Pain a distant memory. Although you know, you will face it once again, when you sit down to rest and your mind wanders yet again but you tell yourself it will be okay You choose to live in the moment face your battles as they come so you let the adrelaline pumping through your veins give you the burst of joy you so desperately crave
