My life feels like an island,
Secluded in the distance.
Its beauty fails to reach my eyes,
And I am trapped within this.

Time is now my enemy,
It often feels so endless.
It promises of a future bright,
And a life that's full of richness.

I no longer seem to recognize,
This life set out before me.
I wish for love and better days,
And the feel of strength within me.

My thoughts are in control of me,
But I fight with new conviction.
I wish to change my life around,
And free my sorrow's addiction.

With passing time I feel new hope,
And my eyes are finally open.
I see a life without despair,
And a life no longer broken.
