The Battle

the blackness surrounds me
as i curl up in myself
wrapping myself in my thoughts
my soul is quiet yet tortured
i am alone

i like loneliness
it is a comfort to know no one
to dwell by myself engulfed
in  pain that only i can savour
hording it close never to share

pain is my companion
sorrow my best friend
regret is for those who wish for more
i have no regrets
i do not want or wish for anything

light is blinding
i do not want it to touch me
i push it away
light brings feelings
i do not wish to feel

i am afraid
i sense the light surrounding me
my little black room is threatened
it's trying to seep in through cracks and crevices
it is trying to claim  my soul

i curl up tighter burying my face in my knees
i don't want to see the light
please go away
i can feel the warmth on my back
i don't want to feel

the light has found me
it is too strong to fight
yet fight it i must
i increase my efforts
holding tight to the past

the light has grown stronger
it enfolds me in it's embrace
it bids me to stand and face it
i scream as i feel the pain slip away
i am lost in the brightness

i stand alone in the light yet not alone
unsure and frightened it guides me
contentment eases pain away
joy replaces sorrow
at last i feel....help me....i feel

Hi, welcome to Dp...you will fit right in  
this is a VERY emotionally srtong and well expressed piece...the emotions of the poem lifted off the page...very good work.
take care, jm

 Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules
Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...
