She sat there wondering

Staring at the window glass 

The rain trickled down

And she watched the drops race 

Down to the bottom of the glass

 

She never asked for much 

But she always wanted more

She wanted the world 

A life worth living

 

In a world where those are condemned for being themselves

She wanted to find herself

On a journey to security and praise

She found herself facing obstacles

 

At times she would succumb

Succumb to the darkness she created for herself

The darkness would consume her

Lost in the depths of nothingness

 

She would struggle to free herself

Trapped in thoughts that would consume her

Escape from thoughts that broke her

Relinquish her soul 

 

Despite the darkness and fear

The darkness would never overcome

At the moments of despair, she'd free herself

She was light
