Moment of Clarity

Everything felt so dark and blurry, like you could not  
Find the light or clarity until it was too late. Like that  
Sudden flash of lightning, suddenly you have and got  
This idea of where your life is supposed to be. Flat  
Surfaces become full of depth and perception. A pool  
Of thoughts that gather and collect. When your logic told  
You that you were drowning is finally when your cool  
And warm both temperatures kept you afloat. Hold  
That moment near you when you are were so close  
To giving up for good. You were so afraid to the pit  
Of your stomach. Do not forget it was you who rose  
From the ground up, but you did not truly realize it  
Until you made that decision to walk away from  
Those people and the things that no longer served  
You right. They did not contribute to your outcome  
Of life. It was not until you were riding curved  
Roads and reaching unknown destinations when  
You recognized that you were getting tired of  
Everything that was the same as before. Again  
And again it was the same story, but the love  
That you had for yourself outweighed everything.  
That is when your moment of clarity hit like a swift  
Illumination of light. Darling, you are carrying  
Yourself home and always floating adrift.
