It’s a dark night. And I sit here, Cigarette choking me. But I realise I have learnt so much. One thing I realised, Through the tortured delusions, Is that I am strong. You taught me strength. To crawl through the mud, Dust my bones from the ashes, They didn’t dissolve in the flames set alight by you. You taught me, I can unbury my head, Push out the heavy smoke And breathe. Especially when the lights are gone And nothing seems tangible. You taught me to grab a hold, And pull myself out.

Lessons learned
It’s a dark night. And I sit here, Cigarette choking me. But I realise I have learnt so much. One thing I realised, Through the tortured delusions, Is that I am strong. You taught me strength. To crawl through the mud, Dust my bones from the ashes, They didn’t dissolve in the flames set alight by you. You taught me, I can unbury my head, Push out the heavy smoke And breathe. Especially when the lights are gone And nothing seems tangible. You taught me to grab a hold, And pull myself out.
Was it taught, Or was the light always there?
