Choosing To Be Happy

As darkness falls And the monsters creep out, I have a moment left to ponder Argue, scream and shout. It’s been so long for me now To feel a calming deep inside, But I’m sick of running from myself And I’ve nowhere left to hide. The sun will rise on me today With the glow on my skin, the warmth in my heart, A new beginning is on its way And I’m eager for this day to start. We all know it won’t always be easy Those feelings don’t just disappear, But I’m choosing to be happy now And I’m glad that I’m still here. The darkness shows itself When you’ve lost the light, Know you haven’t lost the battle You only lost a fight. You have it deep within you To win this mental war, The trauma you have fought through Has made you much stronger than before. No longer feeling a victim You’re a survivor, as am I, I felt the lowest of the low Now I will enjoy the highest of highs.
