Transitions of a Mind

With closed eyes the spirit of darkness begin to fall 
upon me                                                                         
Anger,hate,depression, and suicide is all I see            
With open eyes the spirit of lightness begin to reign 
upon me                                                                        
Joy,peace,love, and happiness is all I see         
While glancing in the sky I begin to notice                    
Lightness and darkness begin to unite                          
Continously on an ongoing battle                                
Trying to get a better understanding of who has 
dominion                                                                       
Over my mind,body, and soul                                        
Constantly finding myself being enticed from left to 
right                                                                              
As if I'm playing tug of war                                            
With a feeling of being a lost soul                                 
Being trapped in a cruel and cold world                        
Whose on the move of finding that special place called 
home                                                                  Even 
though I was being covered by God's Holy 
Angel's                                                                          
I constantly find myself walking in complete darkness  
While strolling through a tunnel full of death and 
destruction                                                                    
Glancing up ahead noticing a light that                         
Shines as  bright as the sun itself                                 
The closer I get, farther it is away                                 
As I'm  approaching my final DESTINATION                
An angel came unto me saying                                     
If you continue along this path                                      
Better days are yet to come                                          
Your struggling days will soon be over                          
Your hardships will eventually fade away                      
Every step I take, every move I make                           
All things that wasn't of me begin to slowly disappear
