The Infinite Abyss

I was born into the infinite abyss,

Of life’s never-ending struggles:

Struggles of self-truth,

Reality, and sometimes fantasy

I began my journey through light blue/grey crystallized eyes,

Eyes perceiving the unknown;

Naive and confused, imagining and dreaming

Of possibilities:

failures, relationships, unconditional love

For I was in desperate need of

a strong sense of serenity,

 to blanket my youth

I had a yearning desire burning within,

This unknown desire took control.

Control of my surroundings, environment,

My mind, body, and soul 

As I developed and matured,

Grew less dependent, responsible, and understanding,

The infinite abyss was no longer a threat.

Having lived a sheltered and rather reserved life,

Pieces to all my mind’s unsolved puzzles

Fell into the perfect place.

Could this be true?

I felt as if once, not too long ago,

I created my own miseries;

I set vices upon my beautiful world.

Could it possibly be true that

Through all my incredible, sacred experiences,

I found myself?

There were doubts, spinning and pulling me:

It gradually occurred to me,

That I was disillusioned by

 The complicated path of life’s uncertainties

Those were the roughest, but most memorable times.

It was then, at the most unexplainable moment

In time

I actually realized, not only imagined,

 Reality

I was set free, but who freed me?

I freed myself.

I unleashed the demons

Distorting my world

My mind opened, and my heart sang and

Continues to sing,

For I have discovered that,

We, God’s children and family,

Are a part of the same

Infinite abyss
