Darkness, night,
I shake in fright.
Alone forlorn,
My spirit is torn.
I try to see
Past my misery.
I try to cope,
In the darkness I grope.
I try to break free,
to get out and flee.
I try with all my might,
But something holds me tight.
I start to cry.
My tears go dry.
Feelings of despair.
I will never get anywhere.
Drained, distraught.
My spirit caught.
My heart shattered.
My soul battered.
Will this darkness lift?
Can I stay adrift?
In this black sea,
Does someone know of me?
With my emotions drained.
My heart so strained.
My eyes slowly close.
I forget all my woes.
My spirit soars.
Possibilities it explores.
Everything seems so alive.
To new places I arrive.
Mountains so high.
A crystal blue sky.
Rays of sun.
Rivers on the run.
I see myself strong.
I feel I belong.
I want to stay in this place,
Where worries I wont face.
I open my eyes.
What a surprise!
It was all a dream.
I holler and scream.
I am back.
Same old track.
Back to my hole.
Oh my pour soul.
But wait!
Its not to late.
If I try a little more,
Maybe I can score!
By giving one a smile,
I can lift their pain a while.
By doing a good deed,
I can help someone in need.
And even if it is plain old me,
As boring as I can be,
I am still deserving of love,
A child of the One above.
So if your feeling down,
Don’t fret and frown.
Pour out your heart,
And try to make a new start.
Hes always there,
Your cries to hear .
But we have to do the best we can,
For after all this is what builds man.
