Happiness, joy, Sunshine, Totally Free
This soul was once me.

Life swirls darkness forms
Hope runs, Freedom Bound
My past life Morns
The Light pushed underground

Darkness has found me
My soul contorts and screams
Heart retreating from the pain
A new smile of forbidden glee
Nights filled with darker dreams
No more time to feel the shame

Empty, cold, desolate
Life’s new gift to my soul
My new hand dealt by fate
Why stop now I’m on a roll

Darkness, bitterness, treachery
This new soul has claimed me.



 May the light of day always shine during the darkest of nights.

Hi all, Just letting you know, this poem was written a long time ago, during a very confusing time in my life, but things have been sorted out, and I'm a stronger person now.

 May the light of day always shine during the darkest of nights.

*pokes you...*  They better be..

 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
