Darkness is safe when the light goes dull<\/p>\n
Darkness is a comfort when the noise pounds against your skull<\/p>\n
Darkness is an abyss, a void for ever falling through<\/p>\n
Darkness is where, to most, hope no longer grew<\/p>\n
But darkness embraces you with cold arms<\/p>\n
Darkness is aware of the triggering alarms<\/p>\n
It’s silent, it listens, it lets you fall<\/p>\n
Until you’re ready to land into light and stand tall<\/p>\n
Perhaps beyond the abyss there lies a light<\/p>\n
There is no tunnel but hope is in sight<\/p>\n
Perhaps we’re facing up, we can’t see what awaits us after the tumble<\/p>\n
There is a light that will have us crumble<\/p>\n
But we’ll stand back up, new found hope<\/p>\n
And we’ll navigate through that messy slope<\/p>\n
And darkness will be there, ready with a rope<\/p>\n
To pull us back in case we falter and need to silently cope<\/p>\n
But hope will be a spark, a star, or a flame within our eyes<\/p>\n
And we’ll be ready to grab onto it after hard tries<\/p>\n
Hope will have us soaring the skies<\/p>\n
No giving up, we’ll keep walking yelling battle cries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
