I REALLY NEVER KNEW LOVE BY OTHERS,
UNTILL TRAGEDY.
I DIDN'T KNOW IT AT FIRST FOR THEY WERE BEHIND ME,
BACKING ME UP
SILENTLY CHEERING ME ON.
HELPING ME BEAT THE DARKNESS
BEFORE THE DAWN.
I AM FINALLY STARTING TO SEE THE LIGHT.
REACHING, GRABBING AND PULLING
MYSELF UP FROM UNDER THE DARK OF THE NIGHT.
I GLANCE UP ASTONISHED TO SEE
THAT IN THEIR OWN WAY
MOST OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THE SAME BOAT AS ME.
