Overwhelmed?

I took a deep breath,
my lungs filled with water.
I thought of my life,
my wife and my daughter.

The world around me,
it watched and waited.
How did it come to this,
it was not anticipated.

I clutched my heart,
struggled and climbed.
I could see some light,
some hope left to find.

A hand reached down,
pulled me up like a doll.
I felt nothing but light,
and love, filling my soul.

In an instant I knew,
to leave my ego behind.
Nothing else mattered,
except being kind.

The power of love,
changed a painful past.
It's an awakening feeling,
and I know it will last.

If you feel overwhelmed,
know it's just an illusion.
Use your soul powers,
to stop your confusion.
