Sunrise
I closed my eyes for the night,
And the darkness consumed me.
Everything that was wrong,
Stood in front of me.
I was powerless.
Blind,
I could not fight.
I looked for an escape from the dark abyss,
But I could not find one.
Every night,
It was the same.
Surrounded by darkness,
And my demons emerged.
They held power over me,
Because the dark was their home.
It was their strength.
Morning would always come,
But the sky was covered with ominous storm clouds,
And it poured everyday.
There was no light in my darkness,
No end to my suffering.
An endless cycle of darkness and gloom.
I ran and ran and kept running,
But I couldn’t outrun this.
Suddenly,
A bright light rose out of the sky,
Blinding me.
It destroyed the demons that had been chasing me.
It dried up the rain at my feet.
It gave me strength to go forward.
Now I can see.
The darkness doesn’t last forever.
When the sun rises,
It brings a new day,
A chance to start over,
An opportunity for rebirth and redemption.
