The darkness within, made darkness around.
I looked everywhere for a way.
I could not see, any way out.
I just wanted to end that day.

Years ticked away, like seconds in time.
Nothing I did would succeed.
My spirit was crushed, with torment and pain.
Longing for me to be freed.

I thought of the pain, and of hopeless attempts.
How desperate I was for a goal.
Then one day I thought, of smelling a rose.
That's what brought peace to my soul.

I thought of the good, and smiled with glee.
In darkness I built up the light.
I had control, of how I could feel.
The darkness was gone from my sight.
