Sometimes darkness can seem impenetrable,
A view can be narrowed to only a hue of light,
And in that view your world loses all hope,
Easy then to forget what hides out of sight,
A world of beauty and wonder can be seen,
If you can train your eyes to see the light,
And shut down the negative words so mean,
Show them you have the inner strength to fight,
Strip everything from your heart you don’t need,
Look in the mirror and see yourself as one,
You’re more important to the earth than the sea,
As unique and pure as each new setting sun,
Tomorrow will ease your pain as memories fade,
You can be reborn to the earth without having to leave,
Time can move slowly but you have to be brave,
There is more than one way to set yourself free.

this is beautiful, this made me really see things, and think of things as well...
"Strip everything from your heart you don’t need,
Look in the mirror and see yourself as one,
You’re more important to the earth than the sea,
As unique and pure as each new setting sun,"
i swear i interpreted that as "take a look into your soul" basically...
hmpfh i always interpret things like that ... one way or another

Thank you so much for making me the winner of this contest, it was a hard poem to write as I've been there myself and am so pleased that I wrote a poem you felt your friend needed. Again thank you and I'm thrilled that you felt mine was the best to get the message across. Cheers Darky!!!

Beautiful write and seemed filled with hope. It made me think of how important it is to see the good things in life and to learn to be happy with what a person has in life. Good luck in the contest.
