I sit here alone thinking of life,
Looking on in the darkness, feeling the strife.

Unable to detect the darkness and Nuisance that’s reeling,
With a feeble probing at the opaque mesh that imprisons my feelings.

I seek to unlock them force them to surface,
But unable to grasp the potential brightness.

I know now what must be done to unlock this cage,
The struggle and determination strong to fight this rage.

I find myself wondering if I have the strength to fight this alone,
There is potential there within I know it; it’s not too late to atone.

Do I let the darkness desecrate all that is good,
Or do I say enough is enough with this self-hood.

I cant lie down and let anguish conqueror,
The light is brighter now but only a whisper.

But that’s all it takes this disharmony is now broken,
Now when I reach within its light I can summon.

So now I find myself sitting here thinking of life but I’m not alone or
dis-hearted,
For I’m now re-born with a deep sense of calmness the darkness all but
departed.
