Give

There was a time in my life
When I didn't want to live
It was hard to care for myself
Never mind have anything to give
To others
Or my mother
My gram, dad, sisters or brother
I was someone other
Than myself
Lost in a battle with my own head
Telling me that I would never make it out
If I did , I'd be dead
Or locked up somewhere
Shackled or held in captivity
Exactly where this disease has left me.
Due to my own choices
I stopped And made a conscious decision
To give up fighting the devil
And let the light from the
angels shine within.

But you did made it ,
Life is the most beautiful thing
We all can reach some point where we feel its all lost, where there seem to be no hope but if you wait, you will see that those moments will pass
I hope you are stronger and better now

Good writing , you let me into your darkest moments
