Renewal

Realizing you can persevere through trials

Running through the night

Going from shadow to shadow

Trying to hide from everyone

The traces of my pain

 

Nothing seems to be going right

The shadows close around me

Pulling me into their midst

Into the depths of their disdain

 

The stench of death surrounds me

As I am further pulled in

Hands reach out and grasp

At what they think is their gain

 

Then suddenly a light appears

The shadows all disperse

Years of hiding evaporate

With the tears of a clear falling rain.

Author's Note

Anything and everything is welcome.

I especially like this poem. It's very real and easy to relate to. I never knew you were a poet. Well done
