Back to Black

(A poem inspired by Amy Winehouse song titles)

In the shadows,
I’m feeling the weight,
Rehab calls, but I hesitate.

I’m a lost soul,
Just trying to be,
Stronger than yesterday,
Searching for me.

With each tear,
I’ll take a step back,
No more hiding,
I’m facing the black.

Love is a losing game,
But hope remains,
I’ll learn to love myself,
Through the pains.

So here’s to the struggle,
To breaking the chain,
I’ll rise from the ashes,
And dance in the rain.
