The darkness surrounded me The dark tide Beating against my shore Only a small light remained I lost my will to live Yet I hung on For that small light Was hope and love And a little voice Would not let go Not let me end it all My pain and suffering The Anxiety andContinue reading “Poem: One Small Light”

Help me To get the strength To have the luck To achieve the skill To be and to live

God give me strength God grant me control God give my love a chance God give me a sign God help me bring change God help the light shine God wake us up! This is my prayer

I am at peace now Deep in thought And also feeling Will this peace last? No But it will come again When I’m in need And give me the strength To go on Through fire and snow Through hard and easy Let the light shine on

I’m out of tricks And out of time I lack the talent Or the skills I can’t control The things I’m feeling I can’t cause balance I can’t find my center But I must Keep on trying For to not do so Would be the end

Tears well Throat clenches I struggle to Hold on Against the accusing Stares The battle is A hard one But fight it I will Because I can

When the music blares When the crowds grow too strong When the darkness closes in When my defenses are insufficient When my own mind turns on me When my feelings need to pour I write poetry And so I do

I feel Out of place Isolated from The majority I try to keep Strong and on course Yet the pressure Is hard to bear I shall shoulder the load And stand alone ‘Til others stand with me

Conflict Feelings overwhelm Try to fight it Try to rise above it Try to be the better man Yet something in me Can’t help but be Bitter and resentful Mistrusting I know these Dark feelings must Not gain control Yet the battle Is a hard one One I’ll keep fighting ‘Til love finds a way
