Despair
In the dark, I find my way,
Despair is here, and that’s okay.
It wraps me tight, it feels so strong,
In its grip, I feel I belong.
I let the tears flow free and wild,
Like a lost and lonely child.
Emotions rise, then fade away,
It's alright to feel this way.
Let the sorrow take its turn,
In its fire, we live and learn.
Breathe it in, and let it go,
In time, new strength will grow.
Feeling deep, letting it flow,
Is how we heal, how we know.
In the dark, when shadows call,
It's okay to feel it all.
