I feel like I've been shut away in a cupboard for months.
And only now,
in the light of summer, I am being released.
The cobwebs are getting dusted off, and I can see the sun.

I feel like I've been holding my breath.
Like I couldn't breathe,
until now.
My lungs are open with fresh air;
it fills me entirely.

I feel like I hadn't slept in days,
only to take a nice long nap and realize how
good it feels to sleep.

I am a starving man,
tasting the sweetest cake for the
first time.

Life is good,
for the most part.
I can appreciate it,
now.
Most of all, now.

As the fragile rays of sun-light shatter into my bedroom.
The sun:
it breaks up into the sky,
Shining rays and clear blue.

I am alive, again.
