Light Before Darkness, by MwsR

Darkness reached for me

Hard to believe I was so approachable

I guess the appeal was my pain and sorrow

Sometimes it is voluntary, sometimes not

There is always an option for me to take

Must I forever fight it or give in for it to take over

I have always willed the power inside

No one got to choose for me, just myself

When Darkness comes, as it often does

I choose the light

I choose to fight

Not given to the force that overwhelms me at times,

Nothing but a strong will, will be found

As you can fight too

Fight for that light within yourself

Don’t let it be overpowered, overwhelmed

We all can choose for ourselves,

That powers resides within us all

It is there for you , if you call out

Sure Darkness waits for us you and I

But we can leave it and follow our light.
