This Time

This Time One step forward Three steps back Life always a twist This time will I make it through? Here comes the night Suffocating and thick Never yielding This time what will be left of me? There in the distance Light trying to shine Clouds slowly changing This time what will happen in life? Shapes coming to focus Love slowly seeping in Memories fond This time is starting to look up Hands always there Never giving up Ones there forever This time will I be able to do this? Smiles slowly come Feeling safer still Day coming to light This time its starting to look free Contentment reigns In the here and now Talking easier than before This time...I will learn to live
