Where is the light?

by Chantelle   Aug 15, 2012


Where is the light?
Not sure how much longer this can go on or
How much longer I can stand this fight.

Days, weeks, months go by,
I'm in this state
I often question, why?

What have I done to deserve all this pain?
Nothing more to lose,
no hope for any gain.

Tears run down my face with every thought in my head,
Where can I turn to for comfort?
Not even my own bed.

I often wish I could just fall asleep forever,
not wake up,
not tomorrow, not ever.

Those around me keep telling me there's light,
But what would they know?
They're not experiencing the fight.

    This is really good Chantelle, there is plenty of spirit in this. I like how you tied the beginning and end together with 'light'
    Nice flow, no real trip ups and you can feel the sadness espicially in the middle section.
    nice write.
