Finding My Soul



My mind crawled out the rabbit hole, it left my
body to find my soul. It had vanished out of thin
air, and I couldn't feel it anywhere. As I sit overwhelmed by fear, my mind got foggy, I
couldn't see clear. My vivid imagination ran wild
and free, far away from reality. I couldn't
anticipate, was this real or was it fake?
Could I survive without a soul? Would it
eventually take its tole? I couldn't fathom feeling
this empty inside, I'd despise having to swallow
my pride. And then like a feather in the howling
wind, my soul appeared and was back again. It
left my body to help me heal. It disappeared to
make me feel. It showed me what was truly real.
I had a clouded vision that held me back. But now
with my mind, body, and soul intact, I will once
again, be headed in the right direction and be
amazed by my own reflection.
