The darkness

It barrels through me

But the light peaks through

Flowing over my head

Just to high to reach

The darkness pulls me under

Beating me through and through

Scrapes and bruises left on my cold frail body

Nothing left but darkness

Flowing in my head, peering through my eyes

But the light at the tunnel

Tunnel vision

I see you

My light

I climb to the top

But it stops, not ready for me to go with them

To the darkness I go

back down 

Back to the beginning

All over again it plays inside my soul

The darkness

My life was taken, yet brought back

I am stuck here

Alone and dirty

Yet so clean

From you.

The dreamy sun

Cleansing me

Over and over

Take my sins, 

Wash them to hell

My sun.

My light.

My struggle with depression, and the light of my family pulling me back out.
