“She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet, yet her eyes remain fixed upon the horizon. You think you know all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her, but everything you think you know is wrong. Passion flows through her like a river."

I feel as though
I'm waking up again
I'm becoming something new
Something brilliant and beautiful
My scars are healing
My eyes are opening
I am clean now
I have hope now
I can dream now
I am free now
In the depths of winter
I can see spring
Coming over the horizon

This is about the feeling of becoming again, of recovering from depression.
