Transformation
Brain fog sets in
Maybe the room will spin
Fun for a minute
Then not so much
And then you need more
Telling yourself
The pain
The pain is what it is for
But you know
That's not right
So
Slowly you fade
Into yourself
And then
Comes the heartache
Because that
Is not who you are
And yes
Now it is
And to get back
To yourself
There will be pain
And crying
Naked to the world
And yourself
And then
A special hell
Of your own creation
And the pain
It starts to subside
And then
You see yourself
A shadow of the man
You used to be
But
You are there
I know that you are
Welcome back
My old friend
You have been missed
Baby steps
They turn to miles
Welcome to your transformation
