The Light Within
A poem about overcoming depression
There is a light within you that never goes out
Even when the darkness surrounds you and fills you with doubt
There is a light within you that shines through the night
Even when the sun is hidden and you can't see the light
There is a light within you that guides your way
Even when the road is rough and you feel like you've gone astray
There is a light within you that warms your soul
Even when the world is cold and you feel alone
There is a light within you that sparks your joy
Even when the sadness overwhelms you and you can't find any joy
There is a light within you that heals your pain
Even when the wounds are deep and you can't heal again
There is a light within you that is always there
Even when you think it's gone and you don't care
There is a light within you that loves you so
Even when you hate yourself and you don't know
There is a light within you that never goes out
So don't give up on yourself and don't give in to doubt
There is a light within you that shines through the night
So keep on fighting for yourself and keep on reaching for the light

I love the power of words. I love how they can make people feel, how they can transport you to another world, and how they can change perspectives on things. I hope that my writing can make a difference in the world.
