From This Space

It's really not so bad to be down, if you just look at it from a slightly different perspective.

When the Forces

Seem to be banding Together

And the Horses

Are running into the Weather

When the Skies

Just seem to grow Darker

No matter how many Tries

Can't seem to go any Farther

When the Mists

Seem to just keep Building

And the Artists

Their brushes not Shielding

When the Depths

Just keep getting Deeper

Catching your Breath

As the hills getting Steeper

When the Illness

Just won't let you Rest

And the Stillness

It nags like a Pest

When the Skull

Just aches from Inside

And your Child

Has no where to Hide

When the Trouble

It just seems to Grow

And your Bubble

It's about to Explode

When the Heart

Seems to implode on Itself

No way to Start

To recognize your own Self

It is from Here

That I may finally See

Make it Clear

Allow a little to Free

From this Space

That no one else will Claim

I find a Trace

Perhaps just a Grain

Of this Me

All that is Left

What is there to Be

When it's all been Said

And the Hope

That was all I Had

Left to Cope

With my Good, my Bad

From this Space

That no one else will Claim

I find a Trace

Perhaps just a Grain

Of Hope

In all I've Dreamed

Set my Scope

On a little Stream

Of Light

I somehow saw Inside

Hold on Tight

That this might Abide

In Me

Until the darkness Passes

Let me Be

Find greener Grasses

Stillness, can be my Friend

Light, really has no End

Peace, is my Dream

Knowing, it's not what it Seemed

It is from Here

That I may finally See

Make it Clear

Allow a little to Free

From this Space

That no one else will Claim

I find a Trace

Perhaps just a Grain

Of Hope

In all I've Dreamed

Set my Scope

On a little Stream

Of Light

I somehow saw Inside

Hold on Tight

That this might Abide

In Me

Until the darkness Passes

Let me Be

Find greener Grasses

Stillness, can be my Friend

Light, really has no End

Peace, is my Dream

Knowing, it's not what it Seemed

[Tamika]

I really like this. Really well written, flows wonderfully. Lovely metaphors used as well. I love the story this poem tells. It's quite emotional, well done.
