I walk these stairs,
gave up my fight,
I stand alone,
the light's so bright.
I need the peace,
my life is rough,
joy comes near,
I've had enough.
Always sad,
I want the light,
wanting to arrive,
I'll be alright.
As I walk,
it takes me in,
at last a new life,
I will begin.

"As I walk,
it takes me in,
finally happy,
I'll start anew."
Well done! Nice rhythm. It flows so gently. Reading this I feel like I am walking up the steps, one step at a time.
