In the Distance

In the distance, I see a form starting to emerge

I can feel the form calling to me

It knows that I must keep going

In the distance, I see all these obstacles in front of me

And I suddenly begin to doubt myself

I have waited so long to get where I am today

I have fought many battles both physically and mentally

I have gone through loss and have had hope

I have overcome my fears and erased any remorse

In the distance, I still see a form and it's calling me

Saying that this is something that I need to do

I must continue, I must keep moving

But I am afraid to move, I instantly feel like I am rooted to the ground

I start to collect my thoughts and keep my focus on the positive

I start to stretch my arms and feel the weight off of my back

I start to lean and twist and move all around

I can start to move my feet again and I know that I can make it

In the distance, I see that the form is taking shape now

I am getting closer and closer to where I am destined to be

Finally I see a bright, white, light and I head into it with no fear

It is then that I wake up in a hospital bed surrounded by all my loved ones

They are happy to see that I have woken up, happy that I have made it

I was glad that I kept going towards the form that I had seen in front of me

It was my family calling out to me, saying they wanted me to come back to them

I was not done with the things in my life and it was time for me to wake up

In the distance, I saw those familiar shapes

I somehow knew they were my loves ones calling me back

In the distance, I knew that I had to race towards those who said my name

For it was there that I started over, and I got a second chance at life.
