Funny, when you think about it
Where you were a year ago
Is a different person than now
I was confused, lost, vulnerable
Desperate even, broken beyond repair
Pulled from darkness abruptly to light
Funny, I should've put up a fight
The things we love now
The ones we hold dear
Will one day make us cry
I went back to the darkness
And didn't turn on the light
And when help came, I put up a fight
So they sat with me, and talked
They wiped my tears and listened
They let me live my visions
And they took my hand and walked a bit
There was no abrupt moment for me
I just woke up and saw the sunrise again
And I was surrounded by love
Now I am love

Holy...holy....cow.
I felt the breath go out of me from between the lines:
"And I was surrounded by love"
and
"Now I am love"
This poem took me on an emotional journey....so complete. It made me think of having a breakdown, and how a recovery can sneak up on you: "There was no abrupt moment for me."
Literally breathtaking :)

I like the free style you wrote this in. I related well, and the truth you wove into it was good. And the repetition of "funny" was not overdone. I like the overall plot of the poem too. Keep writing!
