JOURNEY
I have experienced flight
Wings gave me strength
Opportunities floated in the blue sky
I reached
I walked through fire
Temptations beckoned me
So sweet, so coveted
I burned
I sacrificed moments
Time shredded to accommodate
Slammed doors that left a painful mark
I trembled
I embraced my darkness
Inhaled my light
Allowed wind to whip and tear
I lived
I witnessed my limits
Tore open my possibilities
Crawled through despair and sorrow
I achieved
I tasted defeat
Drowned in frustration
Destroyed my beyond
I persisted
I touched upon the light
Grabbed onto my star
Gloried in victory
I thrived
