People are like stained-glass windows.
They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed
only if there is a light from within.

I need a pool to float in,
an ocean to sink in.
I need an anchor to
keep me still.
I need a lifeline to
keep me from drowning.
I need the tears to cease
and the worries to wash away.
I need the me from the past
to swim up for air and kill
the sadness that swirls in my chest.
I need the me of today
to survive.
So I will
survive.
