Finally Free
Dawn gilds the far fringes of Night
as shafts of sunlight pierce your eyes.
And you wake to a world of light,
free from drugs, delusions, and lies.
Your body bears old scars of shame,
yet you're finally free of pain.
And Sol rises, a ball of flame;
defeating dark yet once again.
Tears no longer pool in your soul
as they trickle down from your eyes.
For although life levies a toll,
hope gets renewed with each sunrise.
You feel like the engine that could;
it's been years since you've felt this way.
And actually feeling good;
feels better and better each day.
Now that reality's real,
you can face tomorrow once more.
And that accounts for how you feel;
for it's what you've been looking for.
