Through Darkness by Troydon Wainwright

How deep was the darkness that enveloped me
And for years of youth was all to see?
How much hurt and scorn can a boy take
And what kind of man do they make?
Yet all the innocence lost
Never to return
Set a blaze in me a fire to learn
Once it drove me to be the best
Now I lay that ghost to rest
I have nothing to prove
My life has shown
That out of the dirt an oak has grown
Though at times afraid
I shan’t yield to the frightening
The darker the clouds
The brighter the lightening
And should the darkness impinge once more
It will find me as it did before
