Metamorphosis

(11/23/16) 6:33am

There was a parasite that grew inside of me
Leading me down a broken path
making it hard to see
It was not my true nature to feel so alone
 and empty

I was lavished in my anguish
Buried in my hate
Feeling so misunderstood and no one could relate

I gathered the earth in my hands
Felt the dirt crumble beneath my fingers
Dragged myself along out of spite
Made my way through the darkness
with the dimmest of light

And I thanked myself because congratulations are due
And if I can make it then so can you
