And For Once:

And for once the future looks bright and the sky looks wide

The path in front of my weary eyes

Does not look so long

I'm waking up to dreams at night

And feeling comfort in the sight

Of glowing corners

Rather than seeing things in the dark.

I suppose because I've conquered those demons

And I've fought off those shadows

I suppose because now I've learnt to see past things

And see everyone that has ever told me yes

Instead of no

And see everyone who has ever made me grow,

Made me glow like those corners in my room.

And for once,

I am happy.

Not the kind of bipolar up coated in manic.

No. I am secure in my contempment.

This is not an episode, this is me.

And for once,

I can finally see.

Weary eyes and all.

~J.K.M.
