Darkness, it's in everyone's life

my days felt empty 

living a reality that was light years away from what I wanted 

I was writing a story that had no happy ending, really no ending at all

 

Surviving the rain that life brought me seemed impossible

It was an unending drizzle

I thought that if I ignored the rain it would stop

but it just rained harder

 

Trying to breathe being feet under water 

I was trying to survive and they were just watching

they never helped out

instead, they would point at me

they criticized every step

but wouldn't help me take them

 

Wanting to walk under the rain without getting wet

I closed my eyes to pretend it was a sunny day

but the noise of the water falling on my head was making me deaf 

 

I was trying to fly away while locking my own wings

once I learned to let them go

I flew away and enjoyed every second of it

 

It wasn't easy starting to fly

but once I did, the storm passed and the stars shined

just like they do on a dark night
