Awakening the Light Within

Save me from myself 

From the darkness within 

The demons that haunt me 

And the pain I feel so deeply 

  

I long for peace and serenity 

But my mind is a battlefield 

Where anxiety and fear wage war 

Leaving me wounded and broken 

  

I seek refuge in distraction 

In temporary escapes from reality 

But they only offer fleeting solace 

Before the turmoil returns once more 

  

Save me from this cycle of despair 

Help me find the light within  

To guide me out of this darkness  

And heal my weary soul 

  

Let love be my salvation  

And kindness my compass  

Lead me to a place of healing  

Where I can finally be free  

  

Save me from myself  

And show me a way forward  

Towards a brighter tomorrow  

Where hope shines eternal.
