Taken from me

Just when it goes right

The universe takes my world

And turns it upside down

Snatches you away

And makes me blind

Without a clue about what has happened

Or what I did to make things change

Drowning

I seem to be slowly sinking

In a pool of depression

With no one, to save me

And my now, soon to be lifeless body

So I stop, think, and decide,

To let myself drown

I let this pool fill me with its promises of salvation

And I go

Deeper and deeper

Until the world I once knew is gone

And I am breathing in blackness

My lungs, yearning,

For oxygen this pool cannot provide

So I count the beats away

1,2,3...

4,5,6....

And then? Silence

I open my eyes to new beginnings and fresh starts

At least, the light ahead promises that

I slowly step up still cautious of this new being

But it welcomes me

Into its comforting warmth

And for the moment, for once

I was actually.... Happy
