A poem about how you can take lead of your life.

You can’t see the truth
Behind closed doors
Contaminated corpse
Nobody wants anymore
Darkness all around
Air thickened black with smoke
There is no solid ground
In a life without hope

You can do your best,
but never really succeed
A life that is lost
Can’t take the lead
So let go of your inhibitions
Just give living a try
You’ll see if you just put in some effort
You can reach the other side

When the darkness finds you,
Laugh right in its face
You can stand up for yourself,
and say, “another time, another place”
It may get hard at times,
but eventually you will see
If you don’t give up
You can take the lead

The darkness can be quite overwhelming at times, at least for me. It seems I go in spurts, dark and light. When things are at their darkest it doesn’t ever feel like it will go away. It’s a hard thing to cope with but overcoming is a fantastic feeling!

So true, you can’t succeed by hiding behind the door.

A lot was said in this poem of great value. You must have hope to take charge of your life or else you will stay lost. I agree when you stand up for yourself you can began to laugh again and take lead of your life. WELL DONE …

A very uplifting poem. I agree with you the only way to deal with darkness in your life is to laugh in its face and get on with your life. Good work.
