My first:-

A part of my most vital,
suffers a sacred disease.


When we share the air I act as if at a recital,
she holds the remedy that I so badly need.


Like walking on hot embers.
My desire to turn back,
evacuate this one-way track.
This pain has begun to dismember.


The end of this pain is nigh,
in the distance I can see the light.
I move faster and start the fly.
But I am hindered as it is too bright.


As the vision engulfs me.
All that remains are a few scares

Nice job on this one, your first.     I like what you described, walking towards a light that is too bright after all.  
Well done, and welcome to Passions in Poetry.

Welcome to Passions!!!
I really liked how you ended the poem. The last line especially was quite impacting. Well done on the poem and I surely hope to see you posting and replying a lot!!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
