Safe

I am being strangled by the grips of darkness, I can’t breathe, I am suffocating. It’s a feeling I am used to in a cold lonely world. I’m drowning, the grips of death pulling me further and further under the waves. It’s a life I am destined to, a life I know. Stories of love and happiness are just in movies, and in the lives of others around me, they can’t feel the pain I feel. God has a plan for everyone? Don’t tell me that, who would want someone to suffer so much, unless they had something greater in store for them? I keep faith in life, keep faith in something greater, and somehow the grip weakens, the waves stop and i am above the water, in a calm ocean. There’s a feeling in my chest, a feeling i didn’t know was real. It’s like I have a guardian angel protecting me, an angel who loves me, an angel who would give anything to make me happy. It scares me to accept this angel, I am not used to this, it’s hard to come into the bright light when you’ve always been surrounded by dark. But then I hear your voice, and just your voice reassures me that everything will be ok. It gives me hope, tells my heart to open up, to let the love in, to not be scared, to live my life without worry. When I had always felt alone, I now know I don’t have to handle this alone, through the light and the dark, my heart is in your hands, and I know it’s safe there.
