Revived

First poem I wrote when I was in Grade 4!! The most tragic year of my life.

I saw nothing but the dark

Nothing but eternal blackness

I felt so alone and cold

Trapped in this icy abyss

Nowhere to return or go

In no place to hide

I'm a lost soul in the dark

Sadness is what I feel inside

I was gone forever

I died from the day

Woke up in the night

To see nothing

When all hope was lost

When my world has been killed

When I was about to die again

A small light has shown itself

Surprised to see this little one

Innocent it seems

And yet so powerful

Its warmth spreads all around

"Oh little light, please help me

Please save me from this cold

Please share some warmth

So that I can live once more"

The little light responded

Its light grew and grew

"Come here and join me"

Then I followed the light

Blinding it was to see

So much brightness

But I knew something

That this light has done to me

It pulled me from the dark

And put me back in the line

When I died in that place,

I revived in a new world

This is a poem I still remembered when I was still in the 4th grade. ^_^ I found it in one of the papers scattered in my room XD

Wow, this is a really nice poem. Even when you were younger, you were a very good poet. This is a nice poem indeed. Good job!

Yani. A beautiful poem. That light. You are the one who chooses it. You know what can pull you up. Or maybe life holds a surprise. You'll never know who or what that light may be. :)

You were a very good writer then. You wrote a poem with a purpose. I like the hope at the end. We struggle to find purpose and goals. Must go forward and not allow the defeatist to steal our hope. A excellent poem.
