The darkness

I remember a time when all I could see was the darkness of night

I strained to see where was the bright light

I went alone an endless road

Where I was told that all I was was a toad

Where was the helped that I had prayed and prayed for 

Was anyone gonna see that I could offer more

When I reached for the stars, I always fell 

Was there something more to tell

When I got told I was brave and should stay

I felt no one cared what I had to say

I was always told to be brave 

But how was that going to save

Bravery is not facing something alone, it's not being unafraid

It doing things even if you are afraid

I went through a hard time, but I survived

Even better I thrived

The darkness that surrounds you 

Is also in everyone else too

I can now stand tall

Even though I am rather small

I might feel like a thing

But I know now I can do anything.

So can you 

Too.
