A Little Bit of Darkness Brings a Little Bit of Light
Location
It started in the darkness that had grown within my home,
Where my soul and my heart were constantly left to roam;
A little bit of color sprouted up from a small book,
And enticed me into taking a closer look.
A world of dreams and imaginations were held within,
These little pieces of paper oh so thin;
I lost myself within them to explore a new ideal,
And found something amazing that only they could reveal.
Words! The wonderful things that they could create,
I wanted to read more, I couldn't wait!
Such simple rhymes that flowed so well,
They pulled me from the darkness of my hell;
They took me into a world where I could hide,
And let me see through the darkness as my guide.
I believe in the magic that they brought to me,
I believe in the magic that we all can see:
From these tiny words on these thin pages,
That have lasted throughout these ages.
Without the darkness I could not have seen,
The color on these pages with their bright sheen;
Because a little bit of darkness brings a little bit of light,
And words are the only reason that I continue to fight.
