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.:-)
