Darkest Times

Sometimes in life we are in a very dark place
Sad and fearless stuck at our base
Confidence and enthusiasm totally shattered
Struggling to work out what really matters

All sense of reality is out of control
Searching within to find our soul
Looking for reasons with a glimmer of hope
Exhausting all avenues trying to cope

Tears came streaming down my face
Wondering about that happy place
Anxious upset almost trembling
Frightened and scared reaching for an ending

Thoughts and emotions constantly unstable 
If only in life I was ready and able
Here is to conquering a new chapter in life
Never giving up without a fight
