the dark days of sorrow

I'm okay with waiting

if that's what it takes

to overlook the failures

and the many mistakes

it took to get here

where I can be on my own

to look inside my heart

and consider it home

at last

the dark days of sorrow

have passed

and I'm okay with hoping

I've done it all my life

and still it won't accept

all the stuff that turns out right

I always do my best

at least that's what I claim

I know I'm always first

when they need someone to blame

I move on and say

the dark days of sorrow

are gone
