I
Through my darkest hour
comes my brightest light
though the pain is ours
inside me was the constant fight
through love and acceptance
I am freed of my burden
though it lingers, a nuisance
in time the scars will mend
Through my hate and my anger
I punished the ones I adore
though it hurts, so I murmur
the guilt is mine, I am the sore
I am the asshole
I lost my faith
I lost my courage
I lost my strength
I lost my trust
in myself
and everyone else
along with it
II
Through my actions and my words
I induce my self-inflicted wounds
though paranoid and often absurd
I realize afterward that I'm doomed
Through not letting go
I have not been able to see what is
though the process has been slow
every moment has led to this existence
through my deligence
I learn to live with the consequence
though it hangs on with persistence
I will shake it off with benevolence
I can choose to care
I can find my faith
I can find my courage
I can find my strength
I can find my trust
In myself
and everyone else
along with it
III
Through my eyes I see no
the reality that is mine to see
though my perception is blotted
I must trust the truth I know to be
through continued reassurance
that the path is being followed
though I will doubt, it is of great importance
to tread lightly toward the morrow
through my triumphs dissipate my sorrow
others struggles and victories I can borrow
though often I become caught up, I must follow
everything I have thought and learned, not wallow
I have compassion
I found my faith
I found my courage
I found my strength
I found my trust
In myself
and everyone else
along with it
IV
Through my thoughts my actions will
prove my everlasting resolve
though my peace is never sealed
focused on innocence it will not dissolve
through long lasting relationships
understanding the essence
though looking for why, I constantly trip
stop the why, just accept, is the lesson
Through my failure and success
on constant will never cease
though with you, makes two, blessed
hope I pass the best of me to my seed
I have my peace
I grow my faith
I grow my courage
I grow my strength
I grow my trust
In myself
and everyone else
along with it
