I had lost myself in a merry-go-round. I saw colors of the same value over and over, definig monotomy in it's truest sense. I sat up, shoulders slumped, confined by a seat belt for longer than any person should have been. But I managed to get off the ride, for a short time at least. Time enough to see what the rest of the park had to offer. Which is where I found a new ride. A new experience for myself, one with brand new attractions. With my favorite colors, and a welcoming line that screams for the same thing that I needed.
You have rescued me from myself. Brought happiness to my life again, given me hope. I truly believed I was destined to stay on that merry-go-round forever, to experience the pain of the rusted handles, to be fooled into thinking the seat belt wasn't a noose. But your radiance lit up only a few steps away, and I realized where I wanted to be. This is more than just the glee of liberation, this is the butterflies that have taken nest in my stomach. This is the nervous bead of sweat I get when I approach. This is the novelty that I want to make last. I was more than freed, I was enlightened and loved. Let me give my money to an attraction that will actually accept. It is time to enjoy a brand new ride, and I couldn't be happier.
