I saw you gently moving towards me,
Stinging my eyes with the bright light coming from you,
Hello my friend, ignore my blindness once more.
I know you’ve seen this before,
I have been here, many times over…
Assessing the shattered pieces, light torturing the senses,
Pushing away that feeling, erasing the emotions of pain,
By closing eyes, meditating into a state of calmness,
Once more, looking out into the void,
Trying to make sense, of the senseless,
Seamlessly in denial, of an emotional state
Pretending to be strong, abandoning the real
Condemned to be afraid of the light,
Afraid to move down the path,
Fearing the unimaginable, collapsing into oneself, once more,
Hoping for soft whispers, calling me towards the crack in the wall,
Reaching in, reaching out…
To find the rescue
To step once again back into the light.
