They say the darkest hour is just before dawn.
They're almost right and they're mostly wrong.
No one knows when troubles, or their end, will come.
It might be that once you see them start, they're done.
Other troubles get worse every time you squirm;
There's nothing to be done there but suffer and learn.
I know the worst thing I can do then is think,
Scare myself imagining how low I can sink,
and things will get lighter once I'm out of my head.
Sometimes the darkest hour is just before bed.
