The Light

Darkness

Enveloping my surroundings

Trapped in this hole

I call home

With no hope

And no one to hold

"Is this my end?"

I often ask myself

"Is this my destiny?"

And I look up and see a light

Shining bright in the sky

Slowly creeping inside

I realize that I'm incorrect

That this isn't the end

I once thought I was overruled by sorrow

The destroyer of souls

I now realize that I am, in fact

Conquered by spirit

The creator of hope

The light is my refuge

It is what gives me life

This hole is but a phase

That too shall pass

This hole is but an obstacle

That I shall overcome

So I will follow this light

To a better place

I will escape this hell

And pull myself up to heaven

Where finally, I can have happiness

Knowing full well, that I overcame my demons

And one day

I shall become the light

To guide others out as well

To perform goodwill

In the name of sanity

With the spirit of hope

And the power of wisdom

"Is this my end?"

I once asked myself

No. This is where I begin

"Is this my destiny?"

I once asked myself

Yes

I was meant for this

I embrace it

And I will continue to practice it

For as long as you need it

You reading this

I will be your light

For I have seen the darkness

I will be your refuge

For I have been helpless

To perform goodwill

In the name of sanity

With the spirit of hope

And the power of wisdom
