And then it came
A darker hour
Not, by far, my darkest
But swept it did
Regardless of
Rendering me helpless
What once was faith
What once believed
Cast my vision downward
And locked within
A private hell
Nothing drew me forward
You won’t, you swore,
You can’t not hear
Me calling from within
I am your spirit
And your spark
Rising through the din
To the girl,
The woman now,
Who knows the meaning of
Fighting
through adversity
And always choosing love
Do not forget
In solitude
I’m breathing for your lungs
And then one day
Through breath and light
Renewal had begun
