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.
