Soliloquy

Exhausted,
Elated.
Never believed it could happen.

No longer am I angry.
No longer am I confused.
The echoes have been silenced,
the ghosts exorcised.
My soul purged of apathy,
my spirit free to dance with life.

Of dragons came butterflies.
Of fire came warmth.
Of Ice was calm.
Of confusion was acceptance.

I can now see the snowflake...not just the frost,
see the raindrop not just the storm.
I hear their heart in their laughter
and see the pain in their tears...

Superficial lost all meaning,
indifferrence a forgotten friend.
Hate embraced as i have Love.
Finally...unafraid to feel.

Wouldn't they just be surprised,
wouldn't they be amused.
That the heart of stone has softened...
that the icy facade has melted...

It means something now
each word I say.
I know what they mean now
every word I'd said...

So this is how it feels

So this is how it feels....to finally live.
