The Light
The thoughts in my mind
They leave me with nothing but pain and darkness
I crave light
I only want to feel something
I want to find a way out
An escape from these thoughts that I fear
I’m alone, I fear
The fear burrows itself in my mind
I can’t get it out
All I see is darkness
I long to see something,
anything. To see the light
What is it like to see the light
Thinking that I will never see it fills me with fear
Maybe one day I’ll see something
I’ll get out of my mind
I’ll escape this darkness
I’ll get out.
She pulled me out
She helped me to see the light
She rid my head of the darkness
She got me over the fear
The fear that consumed my mind
She got me to see something
I was able to see something
It felt so great to get out
I finally got out of my mind
I could finally see the light
It was gone, the fear
it was all gone. The pain. The terror. The darkness
Is this what’s it like to rid the world of darkness?
To be someone? To feel something?
To not feel fear?
I got out. She got me out.
I fell in love with the light.
I finally got out of my mind.

In creative writing we had a poetry unit. Poetry has never been my strong suit, but I thought I should try to write as best as I could. I found to write poetry it was easiest to write about the dark parts of life.
