I'm Just Searching for the sky I've Lost.

You see, I've been away for too long.
Trapped in the dark,
Too dark to see the light.
But now that I am on my feet again,
I will seek the sun beams.
And walk along them to find a brighter sky.
The sky I've always loved to lay and watch.
Before I shook hands with darkness.

As darkness and I got close,
It traveled through my open wounds.
And I clutched my fists,
As it instantly reached my heart.
Where my vision became blinding and dark
And a darker feeling set fire inside.

I reached my hand up towards the sky,
But there was a dark void.
So my hand remained empty.
I bled out my light until the last cut.
My closing wounds sealed the last of darkness.
So I reached my hand up towards the sky,
And  all  was  light.
I clutched airtight the light in my hand,
And slammed it against my heart.
And  all  was  light.

I got up to my feet,
And walked forward from the dark void.
There, I lifted the burden from my eyebrows,
And wiped the last of my tears away.
Granting my eyes the brighter sight again.
After 5 depressed-year, on my feet again.
And I will seek these beams.
And find my way back to the sky I've lost.
