The Revelation
I am trapped in a debilitating whirlwind,
Barely functioning, accepting my fate,
Waiting to die a slow death,
In my hopeless state.
All of a sudden, a light comes into view,
Getting closer, brighter, warmer.
I feel a sense of deep fascination with it,
As it seems to be luring me out of this torture.
The light calls out to me, “do not be afraid,
“For I have the answers that you seek.
“You see, fulfillment can only be achieved
“When _you_ can embrace being unique.”
I slip further into the darkness,
Unsure about what that future could hold.
I wondered what would be better:
Being prey or being bold?
As I spun further into the dark abyss,
I decided to be brave and strong.
I pushed myself up into the light
And discovered that I had a place all along.
I could finally be myself, carefree and happy.
Sounding off judgment gave me a glorious sensation.
The world was lucky to have a girl like me.
This was my revelation.
