Light and Dark

I often wished this world could simply stay happy
Nothing unjust would exist
Darkness was not known
We would be filled with light
No child shall suffer
None left behind
How would we then appreciate our life?
Once my own darkness consumed me
I never thought I would make it through
Not without my own suicide
After the storm stopped
The sprinkles of rain fell calm
The rainbow formed
For the first time I looked deep into my soul
I could feel myself glow
I smiled brighter for all I endured
All the pressure made me stronger
More compassionate
My light grew Wisdom
My darkness justified
