Tender dreams were tragically crushed
A shoe sole shattered to pieces, the buckle cracked in two
Vicious words were uttered
The leather slowly fading
As it was held together with glue
The glue chipped away and down the hole I went
Deep down I traveled where dark was the only light
Depression the only emotion
Depression is the only smell
Rain pours down, soaking you
The wind comes by, chilling you to the bone
Life is a roller coaster that only goes down
Down. Down.
Depression lays down on you like a weight, pushing harder
And harder- until it ruptures.
But then you see the light.
The roller coaster smoothes out into a level pace
And the weight lifts
And the smell of happiness hits your nose
And the light- so beautiful- is shining
Shine bright little light
I’m surprised at what you do
You are vast and yet you are miniscule
Wondrous, hope giving and promising
Like a jewel in the sky
When life plunges down
If no one is there
Then you shine your light
The whole ride, shine bright little jewel
You stay the whole ride,
Not just for the ups, but for the downs too
Thank you for the small spark
You helped me see the path to take
Though miniscule you may be
Small, but bright.
You are a miracle, little jewel
Shine bright little light
I’m surprised at what you do
You are vast and yet you are miniscule
Wondrous, hope giving and promising
Like a jewel in the sky
