I Rise.
From the ashes of what I once was,
I was a shell of myself,
But no longer.
Now I Rise.

I Live.
I once pretended to be aware of reality,
Floating through and never seeing anything,
But no longer.
Now I Live.

I Dream.
Once my sleep was plagued by nightmares,
I was suspended in impending blackness,
But no longer.
Now I Dream.

I Love.
Once I claimed to care,
Pretending to like those around me,
But no longer.
Now I Love.

I Hope.
Once upon a time,
I gave up my belief in the power of wishing,
But no longer.
Now I Hope.

I Rise.
From the ashes of what I once was,
I was a shell of myself,
But no longer.
Now I Rise.
