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.
