Shadowed by the darkness

I could see the light

I reach towards the darkness

Almost there. Leaving everything behind

Should I try and fight?

or reach out to the peace I'm so desperate to find

What will they think? What will they say?

Should I stay? or go on my own way?

I feel myself slipping away

I panic and think fast

Surely they wouldn't miss me

or would they?

My head is pounding

My heart is aching

Do I let myself go?

or stay behind?

I need an answer

I need it fast

My life is ending

only seconds it will last

And then I felt it, a little nudge

And I knew, I had to let go of the grudge

I compose myself, take a deep breadth

turn my back, away from death

And I instantly knew, I made the right choice

Cause I could feel it

I could see the light.
