There will be days
When the shadows close in
From every corner of the room
And the clouds outside
Will not abate
There will be nights
Where the soft pattering
Of rain against the window
Brings no peace
For the sound may serve
As a stark reminder
Of the world that lays beyond
And how very far away it can feel
There will be moments
When you question
All that you know and are
Seeing only the flaws
In your design
But you must be patient
Knowing
That the light of day will shine once more
That the world is not nearly as far away as it may seem
That your flaws are what make you who you are
For it is the lows
That differentiate the highs
And in between the two
Is where peace is found
As Leonard Cohen would sing;
“There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in …”

A wise man, he
No doubt could see
The space between
And what it means.

Oh, you are quite right; it is very difficult sometimes. It can be overwhelming and the depth of the darkness can feel like it will swallow you alive… But even then, it can only get so dark.
