Going back into the darknessA Poem by Lynn HiggsThis is a poem abut my journey back into my childhood. I am sure there will be more. Anyway It is about being abuse experiencing the emotions that I refused to experienceGoing back into the darkness don't want to go backBut need to find out what happens overtakes my sense of fear Fear being more than i can handle What demons are there to haunt me waiting to be expelled from my inner being strive to find the person i was meant to be Wondering could they all be right held onto this belief for so long i was like them Just as valuable just as worthy Just like everyone else What if the truth in the darkness reveals they were right that some evil in me Something i was born with causes good people Valuable people, loving people to do the things they do to cause such great pain Into the darkness I go finally in search of the truth to find little girl not allow to grow up child screaming for someone please please turn on the light Hide me from the darkness threatens to overtake my spirit possessing my soul stoppin the love from flowing to me through me out to others here I am still Striving to overcome that darkness Trying to outrun the darkness it follows me wherever i go pulling at me bringing me down deep deep into the depths of darkness threatening not to release me keeping me hidden from the world dragging me back into the pain releasing the sadness like a dam overfill grief, pain and despaired overflowing the banks of being killing all the green that was growing leaving things in a dismal destroy state Into the darkness I go to stop the flooding finding the place where the darkness can not come searching for relief that will stay beamed the light give me the escape showing little girl how to reveal the truth finally building the strength to overcome all the chaos walking through the darkness to the light searching for those who understand so others can find their way out of the darkness too I go back into the darkness to find the strength I abandon to feel the emotions i refused to experience To see the things that cause so much disruption to discover the real me © 2012 Lynn Higgs |
