Analysis of A Bolt
A bolt of lighting strikes my soul
A burst of energy a sudden jolt
It's like strong hands just hugged me tight
Within my darkness I see the light
I mourned my pride a thousand times
In my own silence just like a mime
I tread in tears but did not drown
My will wouldn't let me and strength I found
Here I stand a rejuvenated soul
Keys in hand, in total control
