“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in; their true beauty is revealed only if there light is from within.”
― Elizabeth Kubler Ross
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.
