Another Tomorrow

Was shattered and broken, in pieces, unspoken, I was losing life's grip, my mind started to slip. Grief-driven to the ground, almost not found, Future no longer sure became one giant blur. My deep feeling heart split completely apart, Nothing else mattered, concentration splattered. Felt my inclination sink, was so close to the brink, Never thought I could mend, figured this was my end. For 5 years I floundered, relationships squandered., I had lost the real me, who I thought I could be. Then came a dream's message, crawl from the wreckage, Time to quash the depression, giving up is no option, Awaken your spirit, transformation immediate, Let the breakthrough begin, it starts from within. Negating things negative was a forceful directive, Look for the positive, do something constructive. Felt my internal fog lift, watched it scatter and drift, Wept clean joyful tears that were missing for years. Found my purpose in life, toward something to strive, Working hard every day sharing words I must say. Months of daily exertion, mind and verbal assertion, Rising up from the ashes with love and compassion. Constant effort forever, not an easy endeavor, When surrounded by pain, but strength left to gain. Reaching out with my heart, the best place to start, With a hope and a prayer, with kindness and care. Though a lifetime it seems, finally chasing my dreams, It took opening my eyes, each tomorrow my prize.
