    As i emerge and undress
    the stress
    that suppressed me
    and dressed me
    ....in blue
    a dark hue of
    ....blue
    mummified me in darkness
    i finally made a breakthrough
    i am touch by the warmth of the light
    and a gentle breeze delivers air
    that runs through my nostrils
    and i breathe…..yes i breathe
    clearly ….freely
    able to have a chance to live
    and allow my brain to breathe
    to unwind and relax
    i lie on my back
    close my eyes
    and bath in the moment
    .....the mo-ment
    i emerge
    i
    me
    myself
    ....emerges
    from the cellar of
    i
    me
    myself
    and it feels rich
    better than money
    better than wealth
    for this is richness for your health
    because to die by the troubles of oneself
    is sucidial
    and not an option
    you have many options to escape to
    always find a way to escape to
    ....always emerge…....
