When the nights get dark,
And the thunder roars,
And the tears pour like rain.
My heart is bleeding and broken,
The pain is so strong.
I feel all afraid and alone in this storm.
Freezing from the downpour of the intensity of my emotions.
The shame and the guilt choke me.
I am slipping on the wet pavement.
I am looking for the silver lining in the clouds in this storm.
I don’t see anything but darkness and freezing rain.
At times like these I have to hold on tight,
I felt like this before,
And survived.
I will survive this too.
I will hold on.
I will not let my emotions overtake me,
and the pain engulf me.
I am looking out the windows blinded by my tears,
But I know at the darkest time of night is when the dawn comes
I trust the sun will rise again and a new day will start.
I will have another chance to continue the fight,
Rise above the pain.
I will emerge victorious.
Because as long as my heart is beating, and I am breathing,
No matter how dark and hopeless is seems,
There is hope for me.
