At Last, I Can See The Light

I am on my way to feeling vindicated. The pain isnt there anymore. At least, not in the way it once was. I feel free, I feel light. I am in control and I truly want to live my life. Some things have happened lately that has helped me understand and uncover the person I was supposed to be all along. This person is strong. This person is empowered. This person is resilient and patient and is prepared for what the world has to offer. This person, finally, is me.
I am not afraid anymore. There is sunshine and warm glows and sunflowers everywhere in my mind. The darkness is melting away, and eachday it is getting further and further away. The darkness will not encompass or trap me anymore.
I am free. I am no longer just surviving, my friend. I am thriving.
