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.
