Lost in My Despair
This was written during a very dark time in my life, back in 1999 when I was just 20 years old. I will never forget my tremendous, multi-year struggle to reach the light. If I ever feel myself start slipping back to that place, I immediately make changes and return to the light as quickly as possible. However, I wouldn't change a thing about my hardships and the events that led me down into that pit of despair. Surviving those times made me who I am, and while I am a work in progress, I am very proud of who I have become.
So filled with despair
I would rip out my hair
If only I could find
The strength inside my mind
To lift up my hand
And push aside the sand
To get into the place
In between the space
Where life and hell combine
And sadness intertwines
Where life has no luster
And the only strength I muster
Goes into making me
Afraid of my own destiny
