Have you walked the lonely miles, on the road that's called pain
Until you reached the saddest point, where you questioned if you're sane. 
Have you felt the ice steel grip of fear, squeezing your hear so tight 
That all your days were dark, as a moonless night.
Have you lacked the inner strength or will to make it through the day 
And all thoughts of tomorrow, were nothing but dismay.
Have you gone late into the night, silently praying for sleep
Drowning in the sorrow, amid the tears that you weep.
Have you screamed loudly at your God, for being so unfair
And felt bitterness towards the world, because it didn't seem to care.

Well that was yesterday, and your healing starts this day
For us to grow, sometimes pain is the only way.
Pain is the elixir, that makes us look deep inside
To face our dreaded demons, for within, there is no place to hide. 
But your demons are but shadows, that fade in the light
When you accept the power of your source, and all of his might.
It may not be easy, your struggle may be hard and long
But have faith in yourself, regardless, your path is not wrong.
All roads have their landmarks, and on life's journey pain is just one sign
Remember, happiness is life's destination, don't ever resign.
