holding the power to illuminate us in the darkness,in the dimness of the night and even in the brightness of the day.

A promise to all those nights
you kept me down with my maladies
A promise to all those nights
you made me cry to sleep in my bed
A promise to all those nights
I felt as if my every bone is breaking
A promise to all those nights
I urged for release from enduring this pain
A promise to all those nights
you made me so weak to walk a feet
A promise to all those nights
you made me feel so hopeless to live
If I survive this
my days will be brighter than your darkness
If I survive this
my helplessness will not be anyone else's story ever again
