Valley

Lying in my bed again.
I’m watching the shadows dance across the ceiling,
As cars drive by outside my window.
I feel myself entering the valley of despair.
Wondering what’s going to be on the other side for me,
Wondering what I’m going to be,
What I’ll give up and leave behind.
Wish I had a warrior’s spirit.
One of strength and vitality.
Instead I wallow in the valley,
Knowing I’ll make the climb out alongside the rising sun in the morning.
