Internal Redemption

I was blind, and now I can see. I spent years swimming in the depths of the ocean, and I have finally surfaced. I have washed out the haze in my eyes. The world has spun its 360 degrees, and I can finally feel it turn.

The world in gray is not the world, but one seen with the colored lenses forced upon me. I could only see shades and nuances, but never noticed everything else. There were times when I stumbled through shadows that I thought were truths, only to have them incomprehensibly melt before me. Only now do I understand. Only now can I see.

I have finally reached the top of the mountain, and look down at all that I had never known, and I weep. Life, true life, begins now.
