I woke up this morning knowing I wasn’t the same,

I realized I finally put my heart into it.

For the first time I saw—colors,

For the first time I felt —love.

For the first time I felt,

Felt this strange gap in my chest being filled,

I put my hand to it,

My heart beat,

My heart beat and I felt.

For the first time in forever I really felt.

I felt love for the first time—self love,

Real love.

I breathed,

Breathed for the first time,

Air,

Life,

Perception.

I woke up this morning,

And into that once empty hole,

That dark  hole in my chest,

I put it,

I put my heart into it.
