The Journey That Changed Me

Hardly anyone would I trust, In my dark days, they are now past, Altered me was the journey last, And the change came rather too fast. When the goal seemed to be too tough, And I didn't have the strength enough, To take on the forces so rough, Arrogance, out, I had to cough. Luxury as my food became, And hunger would drive me insane, Then water and juice were the same, Wished, a lone wolf I did not tame. Soft pillows were just a dream when, Earth's arms gave me the comfort then, I slept without counting sheep ten, Like a lion in his own den. When every milestone took too long, In between two, there was a song, And they proved my decision wrong, Wished I was a tad bit more strong. To diminish this greyish hue, Around me, I'm sure, angels flew, Made me fresh as the morning dew, And back my strength, I felt I drew. With their soft hands, they caressed me, And a bright light, they made me see, Which guided me in this journey, The journey that had now changed me. I now can see the light in dark, Even if it's just a small spark, I believe can ignite a fire, And sure light a helping desire, For the weak and the powerless, And those who seem to be a mess. Demon then turns to an angel, Makes the world a place livable, Lift the trodden upon to feet, And join their magnificent fleet, Of rays of brilliant sunshine, To make the world a place too fine. Now I faith the folks around me, And my body's limits I see, I'm glad I made this journey, The journey that has changed me.
