Horrid nightmares

Living on edge

Going through childhood and wishing you were dead

Begging for mercy

Not seeing the light

Eventually finding the courage to fight

Years go by

You move on in life

You seek to belong and that special someone

But hope is short-lived

Mistakes are made

Heartbreaks compile

You see no escape

As you continue your mundane existence

Pretending to smile and keep the appearances

You stop and acknowledge your heart is hollow

You scream out loud and there’s no one to follow

And just as you almost give up in your fight

You open your eyes and you can see the light

A gentle smile

Warmth from within

Promise of love

But you are not giving in

You fight with yourself as you are scared of love

Until realising it is a gift from above

For all that you’ve suffered and all that you’ve lost

You are given a chance better than most

You heart is ready and willing to love

No struggle at all – it fits like a glove
