A Stranger's Eyes

I looked through the eyes of a stranger at all the things I didn't want to see. Many bouts with darkness that always tried to run free. Depression found a home in the center of the pain, that took over the world pounding down like rain. The storm grew and knocked down a life that was only trying to live, but the thunder echoed louder, with all it had to give. Trying to seek shelter from home, left the journey feeling lost, abandoned and alone. Finding a way to keep warm from the cold elements of the abyss outside, only left room for any hope to reside. Wiping the sadness away from my eyes, uncovered the mask that was hiding in disguise. Blocking a true reality that was now plain to see. The stranger's eyes I found, actually belonged to me.
