My entire life,

I’ve never been happier. 

I can look forward.


I’m tired, sleepy,

but I’ve learned from my mistakes. 

I will be okay.


The deep slump today,

even if it’s every day,

will end very soon.


The light at the end

for seemingly long tunnels

is closer than thought. 


Just reach for it now,

and tomorrow and the next,

you will reach the light.

I've had a lot of moments in my life where I felt lower than low. In those moments, I forgot my highs and nothing seemed right or possible. Now I know that you have to fight every day to reach that light. You can, too. We all can.
