There is the light!
An END to the tunnel!
My eyes cannot believe!

I fell the strength,
The blood still flowing,
One foot in front of the other

I cannot contain
The dance inside
I've waited long enuff

There are no words to convey
A black hole in the center of it all
You fight for all control
And I am just bracing for the big fall

Someday I will bring the end
Because you can't let me breathe alone
My sadness angers you so
And this no longer feels like a home

I am not sure what I did
Or if I tried too hard to run my life
You want to direct my steps
This doesn't feel like husband and wife

Every day the same dread
That isn't where it all should lie
Just a numb and dark core
And I'm feeling too cold to cry

The laughing, the bubbling
Dancing in your mind
Feeling a promising sunrise
Isn't far behind

The giggles begin to rise
A smile betrays
A sunnier rebirth
Of ensuing days

The skies may be gray
The air blasts cold
But inside it is bright
The colors are bold

Dance with the laughter
In your heart sing
Skip without rhythm
To happiness cling

You can feel it circling
Waiting to suck the air from your lungs
Inflicting pain and doubt

You feel the floor rocking
The whirling wind decending around you
What happened to the calm?





The enemy laughs at you
She waits to steal your happiness
Her heart is black

You close the door
Block it from entering your walls
It bangs from outside

It gathers strength
Comes whirling in new directions
Pounding, never gone

You refuse to move
There is no reason to retreat
You begin to laugh

It is so absurd
The hatred is without merit
She is so unhappy

The storm clouds glow
They turn from gray to emerald
You are not responsible

Her life is bad despite
You are not the one that brought her blackness
She throws it at your light

She tries to distinguish
Any light that you shine from within and without
She never will understand

The light will never leave
It has an unending source and supply
Her blackness will not matter

You find a peace to hold
She finds it too much and whirls about
There is no rest for her

As I sit and slowly breathe
Watching out the window
The gray sky doesn't depress
Today is not my foe

Feeling a calmness set in
Knowing today is good
No matter what is waiting
I'll deal with all I should

There is a strength that is renewing
In my mind I see the image
For years was left behind, waiting
Without it how'd I manage?

But as a caterpillar changes form
Today I begin to morph
The day will dawn and you will see
A stronger me step forth

No more bowing, no more crying
No more giving up to fear
I can forge ahead and if I have to
Move beyond what I have here
