This cold autumn breeze
Blowing against my face
Chilling me to the bone
Reminding me of my cold, dark past
The days when I felt
My life was not worth living
The times when I had given up on myself

As autumn grows colder into winter
I felt as though
My life was growing ever darker
But just as spring brings new warmth
A new light came into my life
That light was love
This love brought to me
The joy and happiness
That was missing from my life
Giving me the will to strive on
To continue to live
And not give in
To this cruel, dark world
