i didnt think this was at all one of my bests. i like some of the stanzas, but i think i've def. written better I walk on the path of light Pushing away walls of empty dark I try to see with all my might A glimpse of something, a spark Fire, flame, in the shadows dancing silhouettes I saw it for a moment then gone Flickered and then went out, a veiled threat I have to make it to again see dawn Careful steps, I make I look ahead, all of my enemies Only here to see me break Walking onward, with deadly ease A cold terror locks my mind, in shutdown Memories light up, tell me not to stop I take another look, advancing are clowns Illusions break, as I see what I lost Lost loved ones, circle by my side My dignity sweeps me up, unwavering I stare ahead at my only divide No longer scared what they might bring Courage rises within me like a lost friend I walk on with a purpose, my form bright fluorescent Suddenly the dark lane shows signs of end Running I glide past my fears, into light of a crescent Moon shining down on my face I turn back to the dark in a silent bow Really what I was scared of, my fate I embrace shadow, light, liquid flow. A path of light, between the alleys of death Leading the way for all the broken souls and hearts I expected pain, conquering fears instead Back at the beginning, is where healing always starts. |

Careful steps, I make I look ahead, all of my enemies Only here to see me break Walking onward, with deadly ease A cold terror locks my mind, in shutdown Memories light up, tell me not to stop I take another look, advancing are clowns Illusions break, as I see what I lost I really like these two parts of your poem. It was really good. i hope to see more of your poems in the future. |
