Hope for the Future

Today was the first day I smiled

Without it being fake

I have hope

I have love

This was the first that's happened

In a long while.

Hope

That's the first word to go through my head

Sunshine

Actually feels nice.

I got up and washed my car

I did things that I didn't ever have motivation for.

Put my make-up on and do my hair

Nothing is going to touch my skin tonight

The only thing that is sharp is my brain

The only thing that is shining is my smile.

Why do I feel so good?

Should I be afraid

Afraid to fall again into the depths of darkness?

Afraid that I'll never crawl out of it again?

I shake the thoughts

Tonight,

Tonight is the night where I am free

Free from all my burdens

I can smile

I can sing

I can live.
