I am drowning in my endless sorrow.

I am helplessly in love with sadness.

Never looking forward to tomorrow.

Don't get too close, you can't stand my madness.

All alone is when my thoughts take over.

The misery keeps me alive and well.

Make way, my dark demon is my captor.

I don't know how to escape from this hell.

Trapped inside this cage like an animal,

The light inside my soul yearns to be free.

I have finally found my terminal,

My escape, my release, so let me be.

It finally clicked that it was just fright.

Now, the darkness has succumbed to the light.

Sadness is inevitable
Getting over it is incredible
With so many emotions coursing through my veins
It's hard to believe that I still have a myriad of things to gain
No matter how bad it may seem
I find relief in the form of a dream
I imagine a world with endless possibilities
And a life without the pains of reality
I envision the future
And how there are so many things that have yet to be done
So many places that have yet to be seen
So many people that I have yet to meet
I find comfort in the possibilities of the things that can transpire
I marvel at the thought of being someone who can inspire
I imagine who I will grow up to be
And I realize that the choice is completely up to me
The present does not define who I am
The decisions that I make drive the future and mold who I become
I won't let the darkness consume me
I vowed that one day I would break free
So why wait for things to change?
I'll take everything into my own hands, even if it's a pain
Happiness is a state of mind
And I'm ready to make it mine
So I lift my head up and wipe my tears
With determination in my eyes, I fight my fears.
