A new dawn approaches,
but I can’t help staring
into the night.
The darkness can be so appealing,
especially when the light
can blind you.
A new beginning beckons
like the morning sun,
the promise of tomorrow.
But the past lingers,
a shadow stalking me,
preying on my weaknesses.
It knows where I’ve fallen,
and that I’m bound
to stumble again.
But I will not give into defeat;
I will not let it take me down
like it has before.
