I'm back

One step then two and before you know 

You're rushing headlong where you shouldn't go

The deeper you go the faster you sink

The less of you is going to think

I was fighting, I was down 

I was darkness like I've never known 

Crawling up a muddy slope 

But sliding down bereft of hope

It was from the bottom I could see

And what was once hidden was clear 

All the strength and hope I had left in me

Had chased away my fear

The words are just not in me 

To ever say I quit 

It's not about what life gives 

Just what you do with it 

So I turned back to that slippery slope

And I slowly clawed my way free

I had found myself, I had found my hope

And I stood tall at the top for me

Now I'm back with the power to perceive 

Who I am and what that means 

To see my goals and to believe 

And never forget my dreams
