Light

I see light. 
I watch from a distance, seventeen.
Illness wafts its way into my senior year.

Yet I see light. 

Condemned to these four walls, these two windows know only how to wait.

Hope. 

I still see light. 
There's hope for the rest of us. I see light.

Only seventeen, yet I see light. 
A new year will bring us light.
