Lucky

I can't see a thing.

I can't see what's in front

Or what's ahead

The only thing there is

Is the endless darkness

Stretching

Into infinity

There is no light

I haven't seen the light

In a long time now

I think,

I have forgotten

What it feels like

To have the light dance on your skin

And brighten your world

I have forgotten

What warmth feels like

It's cold here

So cold

And I can't feel a thing

My hands are numb

And the only feeling I have

Is the icy touch

Of hopelessness

But still

I walk

Through all these cities

And places

Shrouded under the dark

I walk

Along this path

And I remember

All the places and people

I've passed

And forgotten

I walk

And the marks

And the scars

That were carved into my skin

Settle in

And I feel the light

For the very first time

It is then that I know

And understand

How lucky I am

To be alive

Not anybody knows that I'm

Lucky to be alive

When I was lost

When I did not where to go

When I didn't even know

Where to begin

But I knew

It was time to let go

And I felt the light

For the very first time

Not anybody knows that I'm

Lucky to be alive

I will walk

And continue to walk

Even when the light disappears again

Even when it's cold again

Because

I am lucky to be alive.
