Dimming Light

I'm going
I'm going
To a place unknown.

So much fear I'm scared
So much fear
That I want the clock
To stop
And live on present...forever.

I'm going
I'm going
But I'm afraid; I'm scared
That my lamp that
Taking care of my soul
Will go dim,
Dimmer, and dimmer each day.

Faith, what it is?
Faith, where it's from?
Would I...
Ever find it...

I'm going
I'm going
But I'm lack of faith...I fear...
I fear that
I've to stand alone.
So alone that I cry...

Cry... what a tear is worth?
Cry... does anybody care?
Care about somebody outside their folks,
Nuture her out of their needs...

I'm going
I'm going
But I'm nobody without my folks...I'm a nobody
A nobody outside my shelter...
I'm frighten that
That someday I need to stand...
Stand alone, depend on no one else...

Stand...
Stand alone...

Eliza it" fine, but try it with out the words in parenthesis.  See how that goes.  I think it is very clear and more crisp without them.  Joyce

Eliza:  You are "somebody"!  You need to concentrate on that.  You may be a part of your folks, but you function on your own. They don't write your poetry or go to school for you, or do any of the things you do to take care of yourself.  I think I've mentioned this before, but you are really much too hard on yourself.  In the final analysis, we are all "alone".  You'll make it and do fine, but you need to have more faith in who you are as a person. We all see you as a!student and poet and someone nice to know!

Eliza - I agree with Joyce. It's an interesting write. But, make sure that you check your spelling ( I know I have to)before you post. You are doing quite well. hugs, Chris
