Lonely inside
my world of hurt,
I peek between the blinds.

The colors all have
left my heart
I think I lost my mind.

Awash amidst a sea
of pain I see
no reason left.

A daily battle
to survive-the gift-
my senses kept.

And yet I keep on
trying still despite each
onslaught done.

Holding head and heart
up high knowing
I have won.

Don't e'er give in
dont e'er give up
to your own heart be true.

Stand tall and proud
inside yourself-
begin each day anew.
