I Choose the Light

Tears have stained my cheeks, words tearing at my sanity, hurt caressing my body. I chose the dark. Pictures mock me, hurtful hands were welcomed, sticks and stones broke my soul. I chose the dark. Loneliness encased my heart, black filled my chest, away I'd turn. I chose the dark. No More. Their words roll off me like rain on a rose petal, love soaked in like desert rain, eyes alight with bliss, a glow in my cheeks, trust caresses my body, chance encases my heart, free with my inncocents, life is alive again, I choose the light.
