Poems from the Heart and Mind

Stepping Out of The Shadows

This dark place, I've been here so long,

A sanctuary, there I am so fond,

Has become my place of solitude,

Somewhere I don't have to hide my mood.

It's in there, all my sorrows I can reap,

My feelings, and let them flair,

Nowhere else I do not dare.

It was you though, who pulled me out,

Showed me things to smile about,

The world and what to live for,

Outside those shadows, I've found a door.

You've opened it for me, so thank you,

From there I found me, but new.

If it wasn't for you, I'd still be there,

But now I'm here, so my happiness with you I'll share.
