Loney nights
dim lit lamps
crickets creeking
the only music in the air

Time's ticking
melting the wax
my candle's burning away
shrouding me in darkness

My dwindling spirits
need a hand up
but they are only pushed down
pushed further and deeper

Now I'm trapped
ebbing away,
lost in my own labyrinth,
struggling to breathe

Reaching out
hands catch the empty air
they're cold, numb
All they need is some warmth,
a reassurance

Waiting in the rain
such a waste of time
there's no one around,
not a soul
Oh it's just me
only me
I must save myself

That's hard
that's life
that's the reality

I've tasted the rain
enough of the salty tears in my mouth
now I need to head to the south

Just keep walking, yeah.

The bell chimes in the distance
lightening strikes
the storm is on
but there's a streak of light

I can see my path
it's quite rugged
ups and downs
never-ending twists and turns

Something clicks
I know I remember I'm divine soul
always
guarded and protected

I was ignorant
but now I know my power

I'm still a coward
but there's no stopping me
This downtrodden path
I take it
because it
might set me free again

A little courageous
isn't outrageous
I'm confident now
the storm will pass

Doubts swirling my head
clogging my brain
I've mulled enough
I put it to a rest

I'm out now on a quest
This path might take me to my goals
or lead me to a new me

Either ways
this journey called life must go on.
Let it be cruel
I'll now only face it with a smile.

Life is cruel...but it's our thought process that ends up hurting us the most.
Think positive

(I always suck there. So this poem is from my personal experience. Eeek M still struggling... guess life's always like that)
