A Light Discovered, A Darkness Wandered

Alone
Can't touch
Can't share
Stretching hands into the darkness
Light
Dim
Seeking
Some things become clear
Feeble
Pain
Fear
I reach out, but it's not the way it's supposed to be
Different
Strange
Outcast
I reach out, but I'm afraid. It hurts to be open
Vulnerable
Tender
Expressive
I see more than before. I'm aware of what I don't have
Seeking
Failing
Suffering
I tried to touch the light, but I'm stuck in the darkness
Piercing
Grasping
Binding
Will I ever be free?
I am free in my suffering
Free to travel further into the darkness
Ere the light may never be found
As I wander away into the darkness
