Darkness

The darkness you have is a beautiful sight.
That part of you should be cherished.
I know you're hurt, your heart's been wronged
And I know you're doing your best to stay strong
There's a storm in your eyes and peace in your smile.
There's always some light after the darkest nights.
The brighter the sun, the darker the shadows
But those shadows show that we're living too.
You're terrified by the dark things that sleep in you.
But remember, darkness is essential too.
Too much light can make us blind
Have you ever thought of that, my friend?
Let's be like the moon and rebuild ourselves.
Every time life makes us fade.
We can't have today again.
We don't know about tomorrow.
We can fix mistakes
We can always begin again.
Let's heal together after every wound.
Nothing lasts forever, you know.
Happiness will knock on your door.
Chase the person that should be chased. 
That person should be your best self.
