Spark In The Dark
It starts as a whisper,
In the back of your mind,
Then grows like a twister ,
With words far from kind.
You await the day when all of it will end,
When their eyes hold not hate but love
When you mind, body and soul will mend.
As the days pass by Hope slips into grey
Those moments alone with music become your only escape
The lyrics always seem to make the pain go away
The songs help you gain patience to wait.
And if you ever feel like you need to give in,
When it gets to the time you cannot seem to endure ,
Remember these words when despair settles in,
Nothing not even the deepest pains last forever
Every white rose holds a black shadow
Some larger and darker than others
But as time goes by it may seem to grow
And it seems the shadows only smother
At times it may feel as if you are nothing
Times when your demons overpower all
But I promise inside you there is something
Something your demons can't Maime nor maul
Inside lies a spark
A small glowing ember
That has the potential to burn bright in the dark
The spark will always burn even in the coldest December
The spark will stay even when you think you will fail
Waiting,staying even when there seems to be no escape
It will burn forever till you realize you'll prevail
Till the day you realize you're great
Even then it will continue to burn
Your bright flame will inspire other embers
Even after you take your last turn
Eventually one day your name will always be remembered

This was inspired by my step-sister who committed suicide last year. I want everyone to know there is always hope.
