A Terrible Place

May 28, 2026

I have been
in
a terrible place
that’s where
I’ve been

I suffered
I cried
but
nothing changed
it’s where I lived
I’ve been

Then
my world changed
a light that
had been so low
so dim
shone brightly

It lit up
all my sorrows
made them disappear
grow small
and
not as grim

I’m grateful
for that
that guided me
that
saved me

For now
I walk in happiness
no matter
what happened in another time
way back
then.
