Debbie Middaugh Poet Rhyme

Towards the Light

There is a creaking deep
 Down in my bones.
   My heart skips a beat thinking
 I'm in this world alone.

   My head is all messed up,
 I wish I could be numb.
   It hurts to breathe, feels like 
 Something wrapped around my lung.

   I have always feared this day,
 Can I find good in the unknown?
   It seems things are harder
 When you're on your own.

   There has to be a way out,
 I want this to stop.
   I have to believe I can
 Make it to the top.

   When she left it
 Took away my breath.
   I'm here alone stuck
 Between life and death.

   I have to rise above,
 I need a different view.
   I once believed, now I
 Know dreams don't come true.

   My world is bleak,
 I stay in the dark.
   For fear that they 
 Will see my bleeding heart.

   I have to get through this,
 I won't give into my freight.
   The only thing left to do is
 Walk towards the light.
