I’ve walked through
my darkest days,
Mostly alone
trapped inside my mind.

Not knowing if
I would make it,
In the end
I left the pain behind,

Never giving up
fighting for my soul,
Even though I was battered
and torn apart.

From the demons that once consumed me,
And tried to break
my weakened heart

A heart
that was already broken,
They thought
I would be so weak.

But little did they know,
They were the answers
I did seek.

What was once
will be no more,
For what held me captive
shall never be.

For what controlled me
will never again,
For what made me Blind
beware I now can see

I now know I am blessed,
As I continue to become awake.

Don’t  for once say you see a weakness,
I to made that mistake.

Let the journey continue,
Only one obstacle  in my way.

That obstacle is me,
That I’m happy to say.

That Shall never be,
I Now love myself
with all my heart.

Why couldn’t things been easy,
Where I knew
right from the start.

Live
Love
Hope
