The Awakening

She woke up this morning Her stomach churning Her sleep filled with scorning Her nightmares madly burning She felt like time was in a deep freeze No longer could she feel her soul A threatening force had come to seize And made her body a lump of coal Was this to be her destiny? To live a life so incomplete She panicked-Where’s the rest of me So I can exist without defeat?! This combination of sadness and despair Knocked her right out of her trance She clasped her hands and said a prayer To once again be able to dance She began right away to dispel the acrimony That tried to ravage her existence without shame Now comes the culmination of this menacing phony Who thought her soul was his to claim! It felt as though it were a nightmare She had been living through each day For so long her heart had been stripped bare Her resolve slowly wearing away She packed her bags and said goodbye To the life which held her contained Like a star her brilliance will multiply Salvation and courage have been regained!
