Power

Alone
no one else
just you
Only you
to care about
to talk to
to comfort
when it gets
dark
and scary
as it so often
does
Only you

Sanity
what is sanity?
Is it
to be normal?
What is
normal?
What is
the purpose
of sanity?
Is anyone
anywhere
completely
sane?

Peace
It is something
we can
only find
within us
When you
accept
and handle
it all
Peace will be
within you

Hope
Always hope
The light
in long
dark
nights


Hope inside
of you
will keep you
going
until
the end

Happy
When all
you want
is to be
happy
A strong
word
A strong
feeling
What
do we
need
to be

happy?

Power
On the top
of a cliff
So much
power
Yet such
a great
loss
Alone
Only you
Only you
will know
