Lost in the Darkness

Lost in the darkness

of my mind

never finding a way 

out

Afraid

Alone

Lost in the imaginings

of what has become

Ever darker

No peace

The branches clawing

My fears growing

Life destroying

Hopeless

Each step taken in fear

Am I going deeper

Or is there light ahead

escape

Deeper and Deeper

Ever Darker

Afraid to leave

Afraid to Stay

@Shauni

Fear and Hope Intertwined

A new beginning
the chance to see
what lies ahead
designed for me

I walk in darkness
afraid of the light
afraid of the promise
ever of the night

All that I was
has been left behind
alone in the shadows
lost in my mind

Standing here
naked and alone
afraid to go forward
unable to go home

And yet
ever is there a glimmer
a moment of hope
a shining shimmer

A promise of tomorrow
of what can be
a promise of sunrise
a promise of me

No longer will fear
be allowed to rule...
to hamper and detain
to make me the fool

I choose to shine
to bring forth the light
no more promise of tomorrow
but tomorrows delight..
