I began
it was slow at first
and difficult

I found my worth
it was a crazy man
and lonely

I met my match
It was painful
and i fell

I used my mind
I was passed by
and abused

I imagined
so i soared as icarus
and melted

I felt
and was reborn
as a bird

I End
and my life
began anew

I went to the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain.

A very nice write and most enjoyable to read.

I End
and my life
began anew

that part especially, it is dark and yet hopefull.

hells gate reads Abandon hope all ye that enter here
shall we go?
the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Will you walk with me?
