Light.
Bright light.
Blinding light.
I let out a cry.
I've never seen light before.
I don't like it.

I close my eyes,
Searching for something reminiscent of the darkness that once ensnared me.
I was there only a few minutes ago.
Swimming in the nothingness.
Swimming in the somethingness.
Where I came from.

I don't know what to do.
I keep crying.
There are others in here too,
Trying to calm me, trying.

They already knew I would do this
How?

Voices.
Steady beeping.
My own wails.

That's what I'm hearing.

You wouldn't think this from what you've read so far,
But I'm grateful.

This feels like a new beginning.
This is a new beginning.
For more people than just me.
For far more people.

I can see better now.
I can feel more too.
I'm cold.
I don't know what to do about it, so I cry...
Once again.

The people expect it, I don't feel sorry for them.
They chose me.
I chose them.

No...
Fate chose us.
Fate put us together.
On this perfect day.

I'm clean now.
I'm warm too.
My eyes have adjusted to the light.
I have adjusted to the world.

In my mothers arms,
Where I was meant to be.
I can sense her love,
I can sense her pride.
As I drift off into a calm, comfortable sleep.
