Darkest Days

---------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------

On our darkest days we feel empty,

Looking to the ground as if there

Is no beauty left in the world.

***

Feelings of being alone begin cycling

Through our minds like a lullaby 

Waiting to be sung in the moonlight 

Of tomorrow. 

***

"Better days are to come", 

yet our vision for truth is clouded 

by that of Despair.

***
 

Standing high as if the world is 

nowhere near, but yet the weight 

is felt upon our shoulders within our 

darkest moments of life.

***
 

Falling to the ground Is a moment 

of truth that hits within the heart of hearts. 

Picking ourselves up seems to be but a 

Distant act of heroism.

***

You’re never alone during these 

darkest hours of time. With one blink 

there is always a helping hand waiting 

to be held.

***

Grabbing hold; we start to pick ourselves 

up from this nightmare waiting to 

be played out, facing the darkest

 fears we never thought to be true.

***

For we are as strong as we allow

Ourselves to be. Only we can stand

In the way of true happiness.
