Analysis of My light in the dark
Lacey Stokes 1982 (Tennessee)
I sit alone in my room
Nobody sees,nobody cares
Most people don't even notice I'm there
The pain that I feel,nobody knows
It stays inside and grows and grows
It swallows me whole
Takes complete control
And just when I think I can't take anymore
When I'm ready to end it,to enter that peace forevermore
There's a light in the dark.
Letting me know that things will get better
And that I do matter
Then I realize that while in my despair
I only thought nobody cared
Now I know that's not true
I now know that God sent me you
To help me to weather the storm
To feel much better than before
I cant thank you enough for all that you do
For its you that's really helped me pull through
To live to fight another day
To finally believe it'll all be okay
I know that I can never repay
The friendship you've shown me from day to day
All I can do is say thank you
Which doesn't seem enough
For you are my angel sent from above,my friend,
My light in the dark.
