Yesterday I almost caved
I know it’s very wrong
I shouldn’t be so selfish but
I’m really not that strong.

Sometimes it washes like a wave
Sometimes, pricks like a prong
But every time it comes to me
The nights are far too long.

When it’s here I must be brave
And try to carry on
For one more day, is one more day
To live as I belong.

You're stronger than I bet you think you are. Just think how you, from so far away affected the thoughts of one persons mind for even moments, you have the power to bring a smile to a face. Or a frown or even tears.. to just about anyone you ever speak with.
You can make it. Maybe not alone, but you can..

I like this one too. You're good at what you do.

sweetwater, strong pome it has good rhythm and rhyme and I like the way you filled the work with emotion. I hope you don't mind your work inspired this response.

The nights are far too long, you say
you to the dark belong
but in the morning come what may
your heart is filled with song

for long dark nights, are long dark nights
and have no power to sway
hold on fast and set your sights
for swift will come the day

and then the night's working of grace
will give you strength to stay
the sun in rise will light your face
and you belong to day

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
