I Can Do It!

I'm alone sitting in darknessAnd there is gloom all around.My companions?Sorrow, despair, failure-Utter silence with no sound.Thinking ceased, actions stoppedBreathing difficult, life robbed.I feel everything is lost-My courage has disappeared,My confidence shatteredMy hope crushed-my will caught.Will this way I disappear?With no care, nobody near,Will I die with nobody to cry?Will I perish with nothing to cherish?No I can't allow myselfTo be lost in this way-I would have to come outCome what may.Then how with my depression I can fight?How can I clear this darkness leading to Bright?How across this sea of sorrow will I swim?---I can do it by efforts in rythm.I can do it by my perseverence,With my toil and labour immense.I wa swrong, darkness blinded my eyes,Now I can hear in my failure others' criesYes I am loved, I am caredIf not by everyone, at least by fewAnd those few for me are like pearls of dew!I would accomplish the impossibleMy courage?--Their loveMy hope?--Their careAnd they?--My Saviour.I would have to keep their faith in me,I would have to prove my worth for their love.And I know, I can do itI can do it, because they are with meAlways to look after me,Take care of me & guide me,To make me reach my destiny,Wish I fill the color in their dreams!If I can, by any means...
