Real-Me

When the days were dark,

And the nights were bright.

And nothing in the world,

Seemed to be right

A hand comes down,

And holds me tight.

A small assurance to not worry,

And take it light.

I now bask in the sun,

And dance in the rain

There are no more tears,

And no more pain

The days went well,

The nights passed by.

I saw the stars twinkle,

In the dark night sky.

I cherished every moment,

I loved every day,

Didn’t ever think,

If this was ever meant to stay.

Soon the unexpected happened,

And the grip was loosened,

The hand went back,

Leaving my life with a crack.

I was left all alone,

To mend on my own.

To gaze in the dark,

And find my own path.

I took one step at a time,

To gather all that was mine.

I went very steady,

For anything I was ready.

My life was back on track,

Now, without any crack.

It was all brightly shone,

And did it on my own.

I now look back,

And I thank that very hand.

For I now work under the sun bright,

And sleep well at Night.
