New Beginning

Dying to live Wanting to die Wants it badly Needs it inside Eyes go weary Face turns pail Mind going crazy From her horrid tales All doors closed No windows open Searching for peace In a life that is broken Wishing of the days She was happy and at home With that special person And not all alone Walking in her darkness She sees a small crack A window slightly broken Stopping in her tracks With full force, she hits Shattering the glass She stares in shock To let the moments pass A light shines in Glowing on her face She sees a new beginning Past starting to erase Climbing out the space Leaving but a stain From the glass that was sharp But in her hand was no pain

Beautifully written poem about a new beginning, just when all seemed lost. Optimism in the face of destitution. I loved it. My only suggestion is to change pail - pale. Thanks for sharing. Tom

It's amazing how you're froth with words keeps something so depressing, as a sign of strength and beauty. I love it.
