Transformation

Despair rushing through me like the last breath of a dying friend.
Disappointment blinding me, blanketing my mind with darkness.
How can I follow my path when I cannot see.
Why me? Why me?
No one can help me. No one cares.
It's all their fault.

Stumbling aimlessly through the darkness of day.
Hating, berating. Jealousy consuming my soul.
They have it so good, so easy. Why dont they fail.
Laughing, smiling, torturing me with their happiness.
No one will help me. No one cares.
Its all their fault.

Step by step, with no direction.
All paths lead to the same destination - nowhere.
Life is just a link in the food chain.
You are born, you live, you die, so what.
No one knows me. No one cares.
I do not exist.

My grief and anger envelop me.
I sink to the ground and weep, and weep.
The earth cradles me like a mother holding her newborn child.
My tears are welcomed by nature, enriching the ground.
"I am here my child, trust me"
There is hope.

I open my eyes and light surrounds me.
The elements pour into my soul, purging the darkness,
"Who are you" I ask.
"I am" whispers the wind, "I am" rumbles the earth,
"I am" sings the water, "I am" shouts the sun,
"I am" echoes my heart.
