Lifeless eyes turn blue

flowers now in bloom

everything feels so new

and helpful words ring true.

The future seems so bright

or, at least, there's a faint light

this hopelessness seems so long ago

a feeling I hope to never again know.

Learning to live my life again

learning to find peace within pain

productivity comes back in waves

to the dark, no longer a slave.

Your grip loosens from around my neck

I forget the face I once loved

I can travel down my own path

I can learn to do it alone

live my life again.
