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.

I really like these two parts of your poem. It was really good. i hope to see more of your poems in the future.
