I know how you feel because I’ve been there before
Alone, feeling trapped in the darkness
Suffocating
Drowning
Lost in the eternal abyss
Forsaken from the light
From love
From companionship
From the world
You may feel as if you are alien
Wandering the barren wastes
You feel alone
You feel you don’t deserve these things
You feel you don’t deserve to feel human--
To be human--
What you can’t see
In the darkness of the abyss
In the waters of enmity
Are the hands reaching out to you
You may not see them at first
You may only see the darkness
And feel the frozen touch of despair
With hands of doubt around your neck
But I promise you they are there
Simply reach out--
Extend your hands into the darkness
Just reach for them
I promise you they are there
They are always reaching for you
Even if you cannot see them
Let them pull you out
Let them release you from your coil
Let them pull you into the light
Back into the world--
Back to where you belong
