REVIVAL

The dark had gulped me up.

The shadows were pulling my strength off.

My life seemed to have an instant tragic ending.

“There’s nowhere to go,” my impulses were commanding.

I was all down but suddenly a dazzling light pierced my heart.

It reckoned “Go use your guts; prove your birth.”

I punched my facades and logged out with masquerade.

I reawakened my spirit but found my shadows digging my grave.

“End is always there,” though I pondered and continued my voyage.

I was back with my will and endurance forgetting all the worst old days.

Now I stand at the apex in the hall of fame.

My lost identity has again achieved a stardust name.
