All my life a shadow has chased me
I looked to see, had it stopped
I no longer saw my shadow chasing me
The darkness cleared, Happiness within reach
Illusions of a manipulative mind
For the shadow never chased
This I realize now, only now
Is it to late.. has the revelation come at the end
The realization that the shadow never chased
That the shadow was me, staring into the mirror
The mirror that reflects not what is outside
But the mirror that is the mind
The true struggle ensued.. attempting to climb the rope
The only way to the light
The light that is a future.. escaping the demons that lurked below
Climbing with all the burdens of my soul and sins
Burdens to heavy to bear, for every measure gained two were lost
Hanging at the end of the rope.. pleading for help
No one could hear, hear my cries of desperation
A voice comes to me saying..
"Never give up, Never stop fighting"
I push harder, my hands ripped of all flesh
Burning with the intensity of a thousands stars
Hot tears roll down my face sizzling against my body
The fire grows larger the demons roaring of starvation
Anticipating the meal to come..
The end of the rope is held by one partial hand
The burdens growing heavier and heavier
Screaming for salvation, to be saved from this perpetual hell
The voice comes again as all times before..
"Do not be alone my brother, I am here with you.. I always have been."
I cry out for him to save me
To offer more than words or wisdom
"I am you and you are me.."
This moment the pain becoming unbearable
My mind an ocean amidst a terrible storm
Consciousness fading, my tears begin growing cold
The heat gone, the pain lessened,
Life fading, thinking the fight over
Of the rope I let go...
Let go of hope...
Falling into the flames and darkness... the swarm of demons clamoring excitedly
This is the end I think to myself
Vision fades into oblivion.. death has come
Feeling suspended in air.. my body fractured
Unable to move even the slightest gesture
Bones broken, organs ripped apart, mind shattered
I manage to open my eyes
To look up and gaze upon myself
Him, one hand grasping the rope
The other holding mine..
He whispers softly.. the voice familiar, soothing to my ears..
"This is not how it ends brother.. come I will save us."
He pulls me up effortlessly onto his back.
I hold on with what little strength is left.
Tying the rope around us binding us together.
The burdens falling off their chains snapping under some unseen force.
I close my eyes and all feeling fades
Then snaps back instantly...
I open my eyes to find I am the one wielding the rope..
I look back to see a destroyed mirror
A mirror of myself.
All the pain is gone
All the sorrow is gone
All the hate is gone
All despair is gone
All the things that have always held me back are gone
I look down to see the demons staring up at me
shock in their eyes, as all my burdens fall upon them.
I take a deep breath.. It is not air I fill my lungs with..
But life.. No this is not the end.. It is never too late..
With a new found determination.. I begin climbing...
A long way to the top but...
This.. is a good start.
