My eyes are once again open to a world that isn't new.

But it's nice to see it the way I used to.

Not the way I did the past month. This break from the light has shown me darkness. And the darkness isn't bad, it's comforting and welcoming.

This darkness is when you close your eyes and for once, after some while, you get peace.

After having my eyes closed in an unforgiving world for so long, I open my eyes to realization —that was lost from the effects of this stressful month.

It's almost like someone took over my mind, my heart, and my body. I felt like a zombie with a knife through my heart. My emotions and feelings were dead. My movements and actions felt inhuman.

I didn't know who I was. I felt empty.
I feel better now. Family is what I needed.

It was my wake up call when those winds hit and turned off my lights. It was my wake up call when I put my phone at rest. It was my wake up call to get sick.

I'm glad to finally be awake.
