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.
