January 1992

Ever more shall I

walk in sunlight,

never again imprisoned by darkness,

free of the heartbreak and strife,

looking only forward,

turning my back on the past.

It shall live only

in the palest of memories,

stored deep within my mind.

I shall build a new future.

I shall live for the day,

only for myself.

My armor is once more in place

and shall only be removed

when the world

can be survived

by my naked soul.
