I once was so wrangled with fear
That it filled my thoughts
Through the day and the night.
It even kept me from sleeping
Because I felt I could not live
To see another day of this pain.
I thought about ending my life
Because what did it all matter
When no one would even notice?
But one day, the light spoke to me
And I was filled with a zest for life
For the first time in many years.
Now I cannot imagine my life
Ending anytime soon because I know
I have so much more to give.
