in these dark emotions
i search for the light
the brightness of it all
crawling on hands and knees
bleeding within
lightheaded
no thoughts come to mind
desperatly seeking

the happiness
seems so near
but all i feel is coldness
breathing heavily
taking it all in
reaching out
yearning for it all to end
the harsh pain begins to fade...

the mud that once covered
starts to crumble
breaking away the torture
that had once ruled my life
pushing back the dirt
a glimmer of light appears
hoping for more
I quickly shove the soil away

squinting my eyes
the darkness had once covered
but now nothing but light
rushing out of this hole
i collapse in the warm sun
sighing
thinking this moment would've never came
the pain is finally gone

knowing now its over
living each day with happiness
maybe the pain was worth it all
worth the cold darkness
worth the search
realizing
happiness wouldnt feel so great
if no struggle took place...


Hey Ive noticed all my poems were pretty depressing , so i tried to write a somewhat more inspiring , happy one ... so hopefully its a little a change from my others! respond and tell me what you think !
Thanks, CaSSandra

wow! I really think you did a nice job on this. I like how everything went from bad to good by the end of the poem.  Good job!
