Dark Room

In a dark room I sat,
Only shadows around.
Hard questions I asked,
Heard back not one sound.

A little candle I held,
But had no fire to light it.
For another soul I yelled,
But none could be reached.

On my hands had my fate,
And no one else had the key.
Had to rise from a dark state,
Even when ahead could not see.

Lift my head, lift my heart,
And a little flame lit the room.
When I stepped up in the dark,
Light took over the gloom.
