Seeing the Light


I suffer from a chemical embalance

Every day is a struggle

To live, To fight

Somedays I can open my eyes

It's no longer dark

I can see the light shining on me

I can see I'm not truly alone

Although it feels like I am

My animals walk ahead of me

Making sure I stay safe

My parents stand by my sides

Making sure I can make it through

My friends at my back

To help me from falling

Although I can't feel them I know they are there

I don't always realize it but the truth is

In the light

Where the truth lies

I'm not truly alone as I think I am
