Searching For the Light

As the sun sneaks into my bedroom, I hear the birds chirping, Chirping so happy as if life is good. Their greeting to a new day. All I want is to leave this place. All I want is to feel their happiness, Their ability to love but most of all, All I want is to have a new life. A new beginning, Perhaps even a new identity, To make myself over and escape this life. I feel abused, I'm unable to fight back. I am so tired of fighting, But I have a plan for the future. They say it's almost time. I have to trust them. I have to trust someone. I need to find that light. Searching, Searching,Searching. Looking up into the eyes of the, One I trust the most. My heart, my soul, my life. I see her hand and I grab it, As if it is my lifeline, Then she holds me close, Never letting me go and All I hear is Let's go home.

AWWW Thank you. You've made my day. Actually long story short...spider bit me paralyzed me and I'm just now beginning to walk again. The poems are a huge part of me, my soul and my heart but i keep fighting. You need to read "the darkess of my soul" then you will understand everything. Thank you for your sweet dear comment.

Hello Sara, yes I have to give it up to my dreams, they are responsible for my poems. They say write what you know, and I do. I've had a long road of trying to come back from a snarly spider bite. The fighting deals with me being paraplegic for over 2 years and finally starting to walk again. Thank you for your comment i appreciate it.
