At Night

At night I see a ghost Where fears and doubts are high It scares me now and then And gives me sleepless nights Tears run down my face No one hears even my sigh It worries me more than ever When I see the ghost inside My pillow is my bestfriend That catches all my grief That made me realized Created a ghost out of me I hide no more from danger I think I just survived I'm now out of the closet At night I'll never cry

Arden, these are powerful words and feelings, long in forming, delayed in coming. Such transformations, however, are incumbent on us.

Thanks, Ms. Canama! All of us have something that we carry inside. We just have to start letting go of the past and eliminate the things that we don't need like fear and grief. We can still make a big difference in ourselves. Love,love,love.:-)
