The Light

~The Light~ I remember the first time Voices in my head getting way too loud Just a little girl unable to enjoy the world around me I thought there was no way out Almost took the easy way out Then I saw something shining at the end of a long dark tunnel It gave me hope A reason to believe As long as I kept my focus on ~The Light~ Thirteen and so very young Afraid to tell a soul About the demons in my head I thought that I had to deal with them For myself by myself Until I slipped and told a friend Finding out she heard them sometimes too Helped me feel a little better It is just too bad she never had a chance to see Brightness at the end of her tunnel After she moved away She just gave up Walking away from ~The Light ~ I felt so bad Yet I managed to hide the pain I always felt inside Even in my darkest hours With many attempts behind me I kept hoping to see ~The Light~ It is beautiful to see how a family can rescue Their fallen Just not giving up Always feeling their unconditional love Knowing they were there It all helped me walk out of that dark tunnel Embracing ~The Light~ Now I firmly believe it is possible For the most troubled soul To find a way out Without taking the easy way With love and support I know you can do it too As you go through life’s journey Wherever it may take you Always remember to look for and Embrace ~The Light ~ By: Jean Shular
