My Darkest Days

This poem is about finding hope and realizing that through any difficult experience, we always have our heart to keep us moving forward with each beat.

In the darkest days I walk alone.

The air feels heavy, weighing me down.

Can't seem to catch my breath as I muddle through.

My eyes burn as I try to open them wide. I want to see, but the fog is too thick.

I only feel its' sharp sting-

It hurts so bad.

  

When will this end?

Will the hurt ever stop?

I wonder..and wait.

 

The nights grow longer,

And morning seems to arrive unexpectedly.

Another day of this battle,

But today - I am done.

 

I have no strength.

Nothing to give.

Here I am.  That's all there is.

 

I want to look at life's best,

"Isn't that what I always say?"

But I can't seem to find that light again.

 

Am I lost or is this the path?

Where is the turn in the road I must follow?

 

My feet bleed as the rocks dig deep into my skin.

I'm bruised, but I must keep moving.

 

I can't stay here.  I must move forward. 

 

I think I see a light up ahead.  I will keep trusting walking blindly-

And will follow my heart beat.  There up ahead, I see the turn!

 

My heart keeps me company.  It's my only hope.

There dwells peace and I remain safe from the outside noise.

 

The light up ahead is the promise given to me.

I must keep moving-

Towards the Light, even in my darkest days.

You know, when reading someone else's work and having seen that you aren't alone in how you feel, it's some-what...can't seem to find the word for it.

When you say "I have no strength. Nothing to give. Here I am. That's all there is," this was how i felt a few months ago. All there was to life was waking up, breathing and watching another day waste right by me. Sometimes i wondered why i kept living or why i haven't ended it all yet.

.....Maybe it's because i'm afraid that i'll end up where everyone else does.

Anyway, i really enjoyed this piece of writing. I could also really relate to it. Well done.
