Seeking a way outA Poem by Lynn HiggsSeeking the way out Sometimes in the darkness there is no
light Grabbed to see where you are going Striving not to bump into things Avoiding causing more pain that created
the darkness In the midst of the escape more pain is
created Darkness becomes darker Still you seek the way out Keep moving hoping everything will stop And you will excel right past Into the light Going to shrinks Looking for the reasons They pulled out the worst Handing it to you Asking what part did you play Wondering why you came if it is your
fault How could pain from childhood be held
against you Then you realized the shrink is a shrink Not the one to shine the light for the
escape In search again Knowing the doctor you need Price is too high You search for ways to cope Ways to survive In hope one day You will find the money resources To pay for experienced To buy the light Someone who knows how You can achieve your escape All the time also not giving up Cause to give up means to die You cannot die You cannot give in now Have to keep searching Looking for the way out Whether with the help Or by yourself Journey is always by yourself Finding the self in the middle of all the
yuck Yuck place all around To protect from the darkness Now has become the fortress To keep out the light Things objects perceptions forging a false sense of safety Blinded the path of the escape Escaping the pain, The fear, The hopelessness They sought to implant the prison walls of the war generate a long time ago in you By those who needed to feel power Because of their own war inside of them They sought an escape in another way By creating darkness for others You seek a way out Not to bring more prisoners in But to find the true path lead to genuine freedom from The darkness impinge upon the souls Of all those who suffered The pain blockages in their hearts and minds Seeking the way out to find Not the promise land but just the land of
the living Where the darkness resides contained Allowing us to walk in the light With the strength of seeing How to overcome the pain Impose on us in childhood © 2013 Lynn Higgs |
