Dark Days

My days seem so dark now 
I'm struggling to find some light
But I know it's not forever
I know I need to fight 

I'm lost within myself 
Wallowing in my own dispare
But when i look to the mirror 
I know that strong girls still there 

Today has been a tough one
Iv made some big mistakes
But tomorrow I'm going to learn from it
I'm looking for some faith.

My strength hasn't left me 
I'm not weak like I believe 
Life is trying to teach me
That we walk on cobble streets.
The path isnt smooth
It's not an easy ride 
But it does bring us strength 
Which will then lead to our pride
Be proud of who you are
All of the time
Struggling after all is not a sort of crime.

Sometimes we just need to pause 
To take a little time 
Let our minds clear the mist
So we can see the clearer sites.
