Moondark

October 20, 2022

I’m trapped here inside no matter how many times I’ve tried to escape this empty pit The dark, the cold, this is it The past has swallowed me whole My regrets and misery have taken a toll So I’m left to wander, always lost Wondering if my choices were worth the cost Then I look out and see something new and my hope shines through Cos even though this journey is my own I don’t have to walk it alone

I am walking in the moondark Always searching for a spark To help guide me through Never realizing the truth That I’m not here on my own There’s more love here than I could’ve known If I find someone to walk with me Maybe then, I’ll start to see A path forward out of this place and onward to a safe space

We’re always searching and forever yearning for someone to tell us that we aren’t one big mess so in the dark we wander as if there’s some spell we’re under making us think it’s just us here never realizing that friends are near If you look out, you’ll see something new and then your hope will shine through Cos even though this journey is your own you never have to walk it alone

We are walking in the moondark All searching for a spark To help guide us through Only just realizing the truth That we aren’t walking here alone When we’re together, I feel at home So I’ll walk with you, and you walk with me And together, we’ll start to see A path forward out of this place and onward to a safe space

Hand in hand, we’ll embark and find our way out of the moondark
