My days were dark
Like an endless night,
When the clouds smother
The moon and the twinkling stars.
I was living my days
On the edge of a cliff;
One moment of weakness-
And I would get drowned
In a bottomless depth.
I felt fear-
Fear gnawing at my heart,
Ready to swallow me
In it's clammy, salivating mouth.
But I was not ready to give in,
No matter if the nightmare
Loomed far and wide.
I mustered all my will power,
As I didn't want
To be tied to pessimism only.
And I waited patiently
For the black night
To usher in a new day,
Full of optimism and sunlight.
