Survive

blue skies,
emerald eyes
happy smiles
the darkness has gone away for a while

even if its just for one day, 
ill still sit here and prey It never goes away 
my life is again filled with light,
and im no longer locked in battle, a losing fight

I have found new hope,
and new ways to cope,
no more self harm,
no need to raise alarm.

maybe now ill stay happy 
maybe now I can stay me,
maybe now ill be okay,
maybe now ill survive today.
