Every Color

Reaching the Surface

By Jenna de AlbaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Keeping my head afloat in the sea of life,

All I saw was red,

The blood on my knife,

Fighting for air,

I slowly sink under,

Skies turn from blue to black,

This crashing rain and thunder,

Just when I thought I had taken my last breath,

My feet felt the floor,

I pushed myself back up,

Near the point of death,

As my life flashes before me, I see the light as I'm reaching the surface,

All of the beauty and love that it has to offer,

I finally feel my purpose,

My soul once so dark and afraid to let others in,

Has found every color of the rainbow within Him...
