Darkness Passed Poem by BARBARA ALVARADO

look a little closer at this smile on me
maybe then my true feelings you will see
take a good look and maybe you will know
these deep dark feelings that i do not show
i cry for help but no one hears
happiness i show hides my many tears
so i close my eyes just one more time
ask my father above why is everyone so blind
the lord says unto me ive watched you all along
this pain you have it is finished it is gone
you have broken the chains that have binded me
darkness has passed you have set me free
out of the darkness into the light
thank you jesus for helping me win this fight
