I’m

fighting for myself as I am all I got

you hide in the shadows waiting for me

to come into the darkness.

But, I rather live out in the light even if I am all alone.

This path I am on is a narrow one and I feel at peace as I continue on my journey.

With my destination no where in sight, I continue on with no fear in my heart for I’ve waited a long time.

To feel this strong, to love this hard

To believe and to trust with all my heart.

That today God has my back and as my strength grows stronger.

I step into the darkness only for the light to win.

I’m fighting for myself but,maybe soon you will join me and fight for yourself too.

Things

are changing and I have no control of them

as feelings and emotions over pour over me.

I don’t know if I can fight to the top or will

I drown it all and will anyone even notice the change in me.

I’ve grown to be so good at pretending that it’s probably

too hard for you tell I’m not okay and I’m fighting everyday just to be sane.

What will it take for things to get under control or will this be who I am all the time

Over emotional and not quite sure what is going on around me.

I’m in a maze called life and I just can’t seem to find my way out

and I’m running out of energy and the exit is nowhere to be found.
