Poetry

Sometimes

the darkness has signs that show you the way out.

Sometimes it doesn’t and the darkness consumes you.

Even when all you want is to be in the light where life feels so good, the small things don’t faze you.

The darkness always has the light trying to shine in, and sometimes I wish we could shine in more when we can’t shine bright on our own.

To keep beating the darkness even when we feel weak and tired.

Because the light is my warmth and the reason I am here and not there.

But in truth rather I am in the light for all to see who I am.

Some people will want me in the darkness where little can be seen or felt.

But I feel it all, and my time with come for the light I need to absorb is all around, for I have so much to give back and receive.
