Sitting here amomgst the trees
I find myself in disbelief
Sometime ago I felt lost 
Wondering how much life cost

Then as the future became present
As my life met snares and snags
I became over whelmed 
To many doors closed while not enough opened

I found myself falling
Falling into a hole 
Unable to dig out
Out of the darkness that was eating me up

As the breeze picked up
And the leaves ruffled
With a shake of my head 
No! I exclaimed 

This is not me
I will not wallow in self pity
I will not be kept in these ropes and chains
To hell with the darkness! For me, it will not gain

I dont know how
Maybe with courage, perserverence and will
I dug myself out of that abyss
I know It will never be missed 

I stand each and every day by my self
Sometimes I lean on family and friends
Other times they lean on me
Today I am me and that will never change
