Out of the Darkness and Into the Sky (Andy's Poem)

Looking up to the sky

Wondering how you’ll ever get up

With this dead feeling inside

Nothing will ever be as fun

Remembering all the good times

In which your life was full of light

No pennies or dimes

Because everything was nice and bright

A place without any trouble

The place I go to for prayin’

Where nothing could ever burst my bubble

You were my one true Haven

Sadness didn’t exist

Only happiness would bloom

Until one day you decided to exit

And everything went ‘boom’

Every day I ask myself where I went wrong

But I only hear silence

And everything hurts deep inside my heart

You see me with this happy refrain

And everything with life is now dead

Because deep inside there’s nothing but rain

And everything slowly withered away

But I watch this rain from the coldness of my hollow

In the distant horizon everybody flies

And I’m determined that one day I shall follow

Because this is not the way I want to die

Yet my wings are much too weak

I have too much weight on my shoulders

But slowly I will gain the strength I need

So one day I can carry these boulders

To feel the warmth of the sun touch my heart

And dry away all this rain

With this dark hollow I will one day part

In order to escape all this pain

I can’t wait to see the rainbow

That will follow this rain

And into a new world I will go

To reach a bright new day

But first I need to break this harness

And teach myself to once again fly

In order to get out of this darkness

And into the sky
