I have been reborn

Behold! I am new and awakened. I have been "risen" out of the cold dark grave that I once lay. I no longer have these fears and anxieties of which I have spoke of so sickly. I have shed the skin which held the scars, hooks and demons. I am strong like a warrior before battle and I bleed now only for myself. I am free to trust in love and life once again. I have been given a second chance. I now stand without falling, for my feet are planted firmly on the ground. I am sad yet humbled to admit that the old me has died and been buried beneath the heavy dirt of my past. But worry not my friend, the new me has been gracefully born to take its place. I glow with the light of the heavens. My shoulders no longer aching with the weight of the chains that imprisoned me. I know now what it feels to fly. You ask of me how I did this  One answer. God.
