The Light at the End of the Dark Tunnel.

 

 

Into Isolation,

Its horrible.

 

This year,

Early on,

My life slowly,

slowly but surely,

began to fall apart.

 

With my best friend gone,

My group destroyed,

My friends deserted me,

(or so I had thought.)

 

I left the world,

for an amount of time.

Took refuge,

in the practice rooms,

and library.

With only my music

to comfort me.

 

In tears every night,

depression crushing my soul.

No one to turn to,

or if i did have someone to turn to,

I didnt want to.

 

I would sing,

sing out my heart and soul,

and finish the song in tears.

 

Going to rehearsal every morning,

practicing for hours after school.

My music kept me going,

while I left my friends and world behind.

 

This was a dark time,

until eventually I was brought out of the darkness,

by a friend who had always been there.

A friend to who i give credit for everything I am now.

 

She brought me out of the darkness,

showed me I was loved,

showed me I was needed,

showed me I was wanted.

 

That time of darkness

is far behind me,

but every now and again

life just gets a bit too much

for me to handle.

 

I tell my best friend,

who has always been there.

She is the one I tell everything.

 

But what i know you understand baby,

is that I know I have you there too.

 

I know you care about me,

I know you love me,

You can tell when something is wrong.

 

When the depression in me

once again comes to surface,

to look into your eyes,

to know that you love me,

to know that you care for me more then anything,

is truly the best comfort.

 

You tell me you hate to see me sad,

You tell me you feel my pain.

I know that you will keep me safe.
I know that you will catch me.

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you for always being there.

All of my friends,

to whom I owe my life as I know it.

 

Depression is like

a dark, long tunnel.


Just keep heading through,

and you will come to the light

eventually.

    That is so beautiful.

    Remember...You're loved by all of your friends and family and you always will be.

    It's good to know there's a light at the end of every tunnel.

    Awww this is beautfiul! i was on the verge of tears until it turned optimistic. I can completely relate, even though this feels to be such a personal poem with lots of emotion. I also went through a very rough time recently and music was one of my main escapes (mostly listening, but a bit of playing too). And i can totally feel the love between you and your friend in this,, i have a similar thing with my best friend,, and i don't know what i would do if i lost her... actually, i think i do know, i wrote about it in a poem called Chelsea, Are You Here? If you're interested and have spare time, you could check it out

    Anyway, enough of selling my work lol. I really did love this poem, the structure, the story, the writing, everything! i wish i could give you more than 3 applause. Thanks for writing this
