I used to be happy,
I used to be free, careless.
Always smiling and beaming.
Eating soil like it was candy.

I started to have nightmares,
Those nightmares came true.
The darkness started creeping in,
And I had no one to keep it out.

Most days now I am quiet,
Lonely with my thoughts.
Being ignored by the most,
Falling deeper into my hole.

Some days I am lucky,
I see a light, and feel courage.
That light is given to me by
My other half, my better half.

He keeps me safe.
He helps me cheer up again.
He came just in the nick of time,
Without him I'm sure I would be far off.
