The darkness of my past has always haunted me,
I could not seem to let it go,
It was and still is a part of me,
And it had changed me for the worst,
It misguided me, made me hopeless and lost,
Unable to return without Help,
I never realized I needed help,
Until HE gave it to me,
HE gave me Him, to bring me back out of the darkness which I was so helplessly
Lost in and he brought me back to the light
