Find My Way

Darkness is killing my will to fight
The way to climb beyond my scope
Searching for a ray of light
In an oasis called hope

Feel like a stranger in my house
Drying inward from the edge
Climbing like a spider
Got stuck in my own web

The clouds in the sky
Add to my tears
The balloons in my hand
Do not bring me cheers

Nothing to push me down from here
I can only jump without fear
I break the balloons, I dare the rain
I splash in my web full of my tears

Here I come, you can push me away
I will find my way to dodge you away
Not everytime can I go astray 
A day will come I will find my way

Persevere Suresh, you will reach the light. Wonderful encouragement for us all to never succumb to that which would hold us in the dark; excellent poem.

This is sooo well written, Suresh. I think this is the first of your poems I've read, but surely there will be more. Brilliant use of imagery and metaphors! Love, Carolyn
