A nameless child wonders alone He tries to find his one true home He wonders through the darkness Because he fears the light The darkness has become his friend It guards him from the words they speak And keeps his pain a bay If he leaves the darkness And wonders to the light He know not what he'll do He sees the others in the light But he dares not to leave He wants to be happy And enter the light But those in the light Keep him in the dark |

this feeling is fimilar to many people, i hope that the child will find his way to the light. it is usually a lot better place to be "I'll build a wall if we can keep them on the other side"---NIN "There is no always forever, just this"-the cure |

This nameless one shouldn't be scared of the light. For though the dark FEELS safe to him, it will only bring further pain. He must be brave and turn to the light wherein he will eventually find the peace and happiness he is longing for... Beautifully and thoughtfully written though watch the spelling!!

Sometimes the darkness is all a person has, especially a child. Absolutely a feeling many of us here have felt. Good write. With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |

Really strong poem, and I liked the title. Sometimes we all feel darkness is the only place where it's safe, when it's really the other way around. Keep writing.

Sometimes the dark is safe as long as there's someone to share it with, otherwise the light is better. Real and deep write here write on Kethry Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |
