It's had to reach the light

When one is falling apart

A mistake has a price

Which tears me apart

The heart couldn't speak

The tears couldn't hold

The emotions overwhelmed

Of a darkening soul

There are times

When one breaks down

They think they're weak

While their tears fall down

Small things hurt

A heart left shattered

One couldn't hold back

The words unheard

Our voice is lost

When our tears spoke for us

Our choice is gone

When we're unheard

Yet we must realize

Either to sink forever in this ocean

Or to rise above the storm

Even though we have to face the storm inside us

Silence speaks more than one could say

It comforts us in the most soothing way

While hiding one's pain in its own silent way

Drowning in the ocean of darkness

I stared at the light

Hoping to reach out

Even though I could just fake a smile

How could one escape?

From one's darker side?

How could one be awake?

In the most painful darkest of times?

Unable to speak

Unable to be heard

While our eyes cry

And our soul hurts

Waking up from Darkness

Is like reaching out to light

While our voices echo

Inside my mind

The pain is unbearable

It chokes me inside

The storm of emotions is overpowering

Yet I try

One couldn't let their emotions completely flow

One couldn't let their emotions get a better hold

I embraced the light as I rose

"Hello again" I said composed

My awakening from the slumber of darkness is best left unheard

For now I could smile again, breathe again

I could laugh heartily

While darkness fade away

As I act smartly

Waking up is like a blessing

The slumber was like a painful cursing

Yet, both are important

The slumber and the Awakening

The darkness will linger around, I know it

But the light will always stay, I feel it

They both are needed by me

I understand it

Our smiles hides the pain inside us

Our strength hides the weakness that's a part of us

Our calm hides the storm that emerges

That's the awakening from the slumber

That's 'waking up' from the slumber of Darkness.
