Light

my way to the path

of the righteous.

For I don’t want to fall back into the darkness

anymore for I have come a long way.

I am not the girl I used to be and every time

I think about it.

It always brings happy tears for the chains that used to hold me back

have long been broken and I won’t ever go back for it is not me that leads this life anymore.

I have never been more grateful than I was when the light came and saved me.

Now  the darkness just can’t hold a candle to me.

The darkness is like a shadow it never seems to last long .

I smile in the light and I breathe in the light and, the baggage I used to carry has been left in the darkness where it belongs.
