Darkness

The Darkness we go through

Is far from fair

Even though at one point or another

Everyone has been there

 

The Darkenss is scary

We are trapped within

But it's not a matter of if we get out

But when

 

Some find a ladder

Others take the stairs

But some of us find nothing

Feeling alone, hurt and scared

 

But soon will come the day

When the pain starts to fade

we push through the hurt

we fight everyday

 

until we find our light switch

and with the light

we learn not to fear

because the reason we suffered

becomes crystal clear


The author's comments:

I struggled with depression for as long as I can remember, I hated myself and wanted othing more than to be gone. Not nessicarily dead, but didn't want to be here. I blieved that I was nothing, and that all I did was let people down and hurt the people I love. I did a lot of regrettable things because of it, but then I got help. The road to recovery is far from easy, I still struggle with my personal demons, but I no longer just sit back and take it, I fight. For myself, and for what I belive to be my purpose in life. During my struggles, is when I descovered my love for writing. I used it as a way to set myself free of what was bothering me. But now I belive that I discovered my love and talent, because that's what I want to use to help change the world, and help those that are going through and experiencing depression. Nobody can fix you, but they can offer tools.
