There come's a time when you stop and listen.
You listen for your life.
For your breathing.
Do you hear it?
The air circulating through your lungs.
Life.
That's right, you're alive.
You've made it through.
Perhaps even been resurrected from the darkness.
Now look at your feet.
Move your toes.
Stand.
That's right, you're capable.
Capable to stand on your own and run.
Run from your captors.
Now look at your hands.
Are they chained?
Or are they free.
Are they capable of moving in spontaneous motions and directions?
That's right, you're free.
Free to be who you are.
Now look in your own eyes. See yourself.
I've seen my life, my capability and my freedom. I've seen who I am and I'm never going back to who I thought I was.
