How Did I allow

This darkness crept into my life and stayed for so long.

That the light is only casing shadows through my days as I struggle to see more of myself.

More of what I want and what I am working towards.

It’s like moving on from the past but being stuck by the unknown.

And the present moments are just out of reach.

And the battle to fight to get out of this space is so draining that the thought of fighting back is less and less each day.

But still, that little bit of hope and faith carry me on, and soon, I know the darkness will be too little even to make me look twice.
