Personal Journey

There's many stories that I will tell,
My personal journey that I call hell.
No one can imagine
The shit you go through,
When your life suddenly changes
You reach down deep,
Inside yourself
Having your life taken away.
Then God grants you a gift,
And lets you stay.
In your head things spin around,
In the darkness of your mind.
Seeing visions you just can't explain
Having your hearing taken away.
Suddenly realizing your struggling to breath,
You can't move or even speak.
Feeling alone,
Nobody is there.
And your feeling so very weak.
You find out your not alone,
Your family has fallen apart.
You cry out..
'How has this happened'
How did this hell ever start.
Some of us are still working
Trying to get better,
But we will never be the same.
One thing I have learned
When we come together,
We will always have..
That eternal flame.
